They claim these SSDs are impossible to wear out within 5 years.

The new Nimbus Data ExaDrive 50 TB and 100 TB SSDs also carry an unlimited endurance guarantee for five years, with no drive-write-per-day restrictions, unlike other SSDs that may have restrictions. Multiple error-correction code engines and the "sheer amount of capacity" in the drive help to enable that level of endurance, according to Isakovich.
"A customer can run any workload they want on it for five years. And if for whatever reason they somehow miraculously manage to wear it out, it's a no-cost replacement for them," he said. "But we've done the math, and we can offer this because it's impossible to wear it out in five years."
