Unless you're using this in a server farm constantly writing data (probably wouldn't be doing that with a consumer SSD anyway), you'll be fine for 10+ years.

the SSD transfers files 112% faster and loads major games up to 57% faster than comparable competing products. Not to brag too much, Micron said its 2550 also delivers "breakneck" sequential read performance of up to 5 gigabytes per second and sequential write performance of up to 4 gigabytes per second, which are 43% and 33% faster than the previous SSD generation, respectively.
The bigger concern to average users may be power savings. Micron said it is using an advanced process node for the controller and elimination of DRAM by way of Host Memory Buffer technology. Sleep power consumption in the 2550 is under 2.5 milliwatts, while active idle power consumption is under 150 milliwatts and active power consumption is below 5.5 watts.

It has a 550GB psedocache. Once 550GB is exceeded, the transfer rate goes to 100MB/sec, which is half the speed of a spinning drive. As long as you follow this restriction, you are in good shape.

I wouldn't buy the P3 for anything more than a steam game library (vs HDD) or backups in an external USB enclosure.

In a similar situation so curious to know your speeds.

I don't remember, but something like 3K. I recall the M1 Studio 512G hit like ~5500GB/s.
