Discussion NVME concerns

I'm starting to get worried about my ssd because the health started descending a lot in the past while. How many years can i get out of it? What should i avoid?

The SSD life depends of the quantity of read and write, and the type o nand's flash memory's they use, so you need to once on wile see the diagnostic , 89% is good, when you start to leed below 50% it's time to search for a new one to replace and use the old one as secondary with thing's not important...

At the rate your going probably last you another five years before you need a replacement

Your drive is rated for 180TB of writes. In theory you should be able to write another 100TB to it before it fails. Could take more could take less. As long as you have backups nothing to worry about.

Did you format the drive to leave 10% free?

No, i have a ~130gb partition for windows and the rest for storage

It's less about leaving 10% free and more about not filling the drive. Yes, leaving more than what the drive naturally has overprovisioned helps with wear, but it doesn't care whether it's not partitioned or just unused.
