Hi. Thanks for the analysis.
Indeed yes, this pc is practically always on.
I like the RAID 1 idea, if one disk goes down I won't be caught up rebuilding from scratch even if it is just the OS. The Data is in a different disk.

It looks like this has been working for 8 years continuously:

$ date --date "now - 74107 hours"
Sat May 23 04:18:56 PM CEST 2015
and completely rewritten about 100 times:

but it is not showing signs of failures:

The only strange thing is this:
> 202 Percent_Lifetime_Remain 0x0031 097 097 000 Pre-fail Offline - 3
which SHOULD mean that it has 3% of life time left.
But I would not trust this parameter too much, there have been bugs in how
it is reported. In particular, the SMART threshold is 0 and the current
value is 97, which, in SMART world means that 97 has to go down to 0
to indicate a problem. So maybe the disk has spent 3% of its life, not 97%
(100 rewrites are nothing, SLC are typically rated at 100,000)
Given all this, I would not throw away the SSD.It has proven to be reliable for almost 10 years,
it is probably a very robust SLC flash, not common nowadays.
Sure, it is only 128GB, so a replacement would be very cheap,
but I think it may continue in its job.
Pairing it with another young SSD in RAID1 would be the best option,
or at least have some backups of data (you should always have).
Regards.
