SSD's last longer with more unused spare area because of how they work. There is no point in buying the smaller model now. I've had two identical drives, one kept half full but 100TB+ of writes, still survived, other kept almost full like a "regular user", a tenth of the writes and it died, write amplification is still real.

If you happen to have gotten the $15 off $30 from Amazon from black friday, you can grab this drive from amazon for ~$63 with taxes already included. Mine's coming in today with free one day shipping.
