How did you determine this lifetime?

I have a couple of systems with SSDs. One is /Everything and the other
has two under / and /home. They were rolled out about two years ago.

FWIW HowToGeek on testing SSDs claims Blackblaze claims SSD. will
outlast HDDs. Samne rate of failure under 3 years and HDDs start
failing after 54 years, but SSDs go on further
