A 1TB should be able to write 100GB a day for 31 years based on TLC chip.

^^ Quite true. Did some googling just now, and the 1TB Samsung Evo is estimated to handle 63 years @ 50 GiB/day, or 31.6 years @ 100 GiB/day.

Must have been thinking about the endurance of the smaller drives when I replied earlier.
