Technology wise, there is an inherent limitation on the number or
writes with the SSD design.
While it is not as simple to calculate as a mechanical system, it does
have a limitation.
I don't know the exact number with the current technology, earlier
products had write life times in the tens and hundred of millions of
writes.

I found it next to impossible to find information
on what - if any -
technology a particular SSD uses to extend lifespan; while manufacturers all
compete on things like capacity and speed, very few of them seem interested
in telling us how long their product might last.
The warranty duration is a good starting point. If it's the absolute legal
minimum (i.e. two years in the EU) then that tells you all you need to know.
