I have some really old HDDs that are incredibly reliable from more than 15 years ago. HDTune and other applications say they are in perfect health.*Bump*
In contrast, my NVMe and SSD or hybrid HDD drives seem to be less reliable.
Based on my rough calculations, at the current rate of limited writing on my NVMe drive, I will need to have it replaced in about 3 to 4 years.
As I'm a senior, I'm on a fixed income and I don't like the idea of having to buy a new laptop in 4 years because it's likely the NVMe drive in 2240 format will be difficult if not impossible to find. It'll be very expensive, too if I find one not used.

I am in the fortunate situation where I will never spend my accumulated wealth and so am free to buy anything I fancy, even a new car.
