Hilbert Hagedoorn, "The Guru of 3D" just published a news report about a 3 year long ssd endurance test performed by German Magazine C'T. A Samsung 850 Pro bested other brands with grand total of 9,100 TB of data written. That's 9.1 Petabytes or about 9,100,000 Gigabytes written. Samsung's official endurance estimate was only 150 TBW!!!
I should mention that there were six different brands tested over a 3 year period and every ssd exceeded their manufacturer's conservative endurance estimates.
Here is a link to the news article:

The results were actually published two months ago. Unfortunately C'T charges 1,49 Euros to download the German Language test report. Here is the link to their article:

GEE! I wonder how long my Samsung 950 Pro's will last?
