I'm sure that you've seen the reports of the Samsung NVMe SSD's, more specifically the Pro models, having a short life issue - they're getting all used up prematurely. It is possible that the SSD's that you are using are also using the same chips as Samsung, and hence, they're also getting used up.
Just a thought...
I thought that was just the 970's and they got it fixed in the 980's etc
No, the 970's are fine, it's the 980/980 Pro & 990/990 Pro that have the problems.
Ahh thanks!!
FYI, I have two Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD NVMe M.2, a 1TB & 500GB. They are working just fine. :>)

The second, a Kingston A400 480GB with 2 weeks. (Bought Abril 22, 2023)
I don't think it's possible write a SDD to death in two weeks even if you try and for sure not with any BOINC project. There were some issues with the first SSDs, but now these things can take petabytes of writes since a decade. It was simply a broken drive, nothing unusual. If Einstein@home was writing much, I'd notice that, I'm still on HDD.

According to tomshardware mainly the 2TB versions with specific firmware version. Samsung also released firmware update to fix it, so it was likely more a software issue than an issue with the chips. There are 2-5 years warranty on SSDs, if they die before that, it's not really the user's problem and actually I'd prefer that such drive dies ASAP, so I can get a replacement. I had once a HDD dying after 3 weeks, yes annoying, but better than dying 3 weeks after the warranty period is over. If a SSD dies in two weeks with Einstein, it would die a day later without it anyway.
