How to find out how many gigabytes have been written to the HDD?

Question

Hard disks

There is a server (regular computer) in which the HDD disk is installed. Because of the load, it works slowly. I thought I could put an SSD in there, but they have TBW, as you know, so I need to understand if it's worth it, because I don't want to buy a new SSD every year.
I would like to expect 5 years of work. The server which is, works 3 years. How can I find out how many entries there were during this time? In the SSD, the same crystaldiskinfo writes about this and it is immediately clear how much is left.

Buy a server SSD (enterprise). It will cost more, but not more than a user-level SSD + the cost of data recovery from it after a few months or a year. And almost certainly not more expensive than 5-7 home-level SSDs for replacement.

How can I find out how many entries there were during this time?

Run this utility and leave it running for a month or two or three: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/hwinfo-portable
It shows the total amount of data read / written, then you can extrapolate to a larger period of time.

In SSD ... he writes about it and it’s immediately clear how much is left

SMART for SSD precisely because it shows the number of write cycles, that their number is either finite or generally small (for modern ones). "Classic" discs do not have this problem, so there is no such parameter.
By the way, if you have a SCSI or SAS hard drive, look at its "SMART" in R.tester . SAS and SKAZI have their own attributes of self-diagnostic parameters, R.tester is able to display information about the state of the disk in the form familiar to users based on them.
Depending on the manufacturer and model, the information you need may be there.
