A 256 GB SSD can typically last between 5 to 10 years under normal usage, depending on the quality of the drive and how much data is written to it daily. Most modern SSDs are rated for hundreds of terabytes written (TBW), which is far more than most users will write during the drive’s lifespan. Regular backups are recommended to protect against unexpected failures.
