This looks overtly malicious. There's really no excuse for people to be seeing over 30TB of writes to their drives if they only use their system for browsing the web or dev work.

My main NVMe drive's stats, after almost a year of ownership, after 3 OS installs (windows and linux, though I moved windows to a smaller less used sata ssd a few months ago) and frequently moving big files on/off network storage, installing games, and dev work for small personal projects etc:

  Available Spare:                    100%
  Available Spare Threshold:          10%
  Percentage Used:                    0%
  Data Units Read:                    200,214,119 [102 TB]
  Data Units Written:                 27,304,663 [13.9 TB]
  Host Read Commands:                 616,298,176
  Host Write Commands:                387,970,043



It is just a bug that will be fixed. Literally happens with all kinds of systems and software.

In case some SSDs already have big damage - will probably be replaced for free as usual.
