"Write endurance ratings are a reasonable 0.3-0.4 drive writes per day for five years."

What? It's reasonable to have a drive where you write once every 3 days? I do backups more often than that.

That's presumably full drive writes per day, i.e. you can write 100% of the drive capacity every 3 days for five years.

Ah ok that makes a lot more sense (and it is indeed more than enough). Thanks!
