The math I worked out was something like 8 years, longer than the life span of the laptop.


Steve Gibson, being the nerd that he is, also did the math a few years ago in an episode of his Security Now podcast and came to the conclusion that yeah, it comes down to many years, but that's assuming you're rewriting all of your free space non-stop, 24/7. For real-world use, I forget the details and his exact parameters, but it came down to many decades, but that was still with unrealistically high usage patterns.
