I'm interested here too. I've got a Crucial SSD from 2015 that's been on about:

* 100% of 2015-2017, let's add 2 years here

* Aboutish 50% of days since 2018 to 2020

* On and off again (5%?) since then until now.

So it's about 3 years of full use? I'm eyeballing the use here. So it may be close to the numbers that were given, but I'm not sure. Guess I could check the SMART stats to get a precise number and from there decide what to do about it.

Searching a bit it seems it's a well-known bug in "enterprise SSDs"[0, 1] (which my drive certainly isn't) but there aren't any real details about what causes it, other than "a firmaware bug".
