LBAs written are in sectors (512 bytes), so about 37B sectors or 19 TB. The Flash has written (actually erased) about 136TB, so you are running with a wear amplification of about 7:1. If the drive is full, this is not too surprising. The way to get Flash to last longer is to leave free space so that the FTL has room to work in.
Nailed it. This drive is being tortured. 19 TB in one month is 630 GB (almost 2/3 of full drive capacity) written per day, or 7 MBps averaged 24x7, on a budget drive.
Over-provisioning at the outset would have helped a lot, but that is still a hell of a big data load.
