A couple hundred gbs write and read per day seem normal to me for a developer machine. Spinning up a new VM from scratch itself will take around 10gb read and write. If you are building containers or loading up a lot of data, can easily reach that. I'm surprised your figures are low because I always see tens of gbs of write and read normally without doing much.
In generak, it can reach it easily on a dev machine, but it seems like the norm. And my linux experience is at 1/5th or 1/10th the amount of data read/write tha comparable tasks.
Looking at this thread, it seems this is the way with macOS.
MacBook Air, M1, 512GB, purchased December 2020, 16GB RAM, as you can tell quite hammered for a web developer who doesn't use the main JavaScript frameworks or Docker almost ever.

Wow. What kinda operations are you performing? It's at an indicated 15% of its life in 3 months! (I understand that it can go past 100%)
Need to remember the actual date I got it, but it's definitely not longer than 5 months or something. Edit: My user folder was created May 26, 2022. So 5 months. Basically I was completely unaware of this problem to start with. I'm a generalist, and so typically: - have Blender open doing some 3D modeling, then forget to close - make some music on Ableton with hundreds of tracks and plugins - designing a UI on Sketch…
Used daily for moderate "office" usage (Slack/Teams/Firefox/RDP) during office hours. Heavier usage (XCode/AndroidStudio/Lightroom/FCP) on weekends/evenings.

Addendum. I just wrote 1.7GB in the last 30mins while reading HN on Firefox, and a few other web pages. Based on that, I would say the 2GB–4GB write a day from OP are fine.

I don't think so.

Seems the code that generate this error is something like this: https://github.com/mirror/smartmontools/blob/0df69a95136fd42...
It simply calls `GetLogPage()` on the `IONVMeSMARTInterface`. Apple documentation is as usual devoid of content. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/iokit/ionvmesmarti...
But I found this `745` value `0x2e9` might be
#define kIOReturnDeviceError iokit_common_err(0x2e9) // the device is not working properly!
Device not working properly?! Or is it just a shit driver?
