What is the lifespan of an SSD?

Hello. Bought an SSD. I want to put an operating system on it, but I heard that the SSD has a limited number of write cycles. I understand correctly that with active use, sooner or later you will have to buy a new disk and reinstall the system? What lifespan can I expect from an SSD and how do I know when it's time for me to drive?
SSD: SAMSUNG 850 EVO MZ-75E500BW 500GB.

What is the lifespan of an SSD?
With luck, maybe in a day it will be covered, maybe in twenty years. More than twenty years is unlikely to last.
I heard that SSD has a limited number of write cycles.
Certainly. Both HDD and SSD have a limited number of write cycles. Nothing in this world lasts forever.
I understand correctly that with active use, sooner or later you will have to buy a new disk and reinstall the system?
Correctly. Regardless of the activity of use, you still have to buy a new one, most likely. And the system has to be reinstalled even with a working disk often.
What lifespan can I expect from an SSD and how do I know when it's time for me to drive?
On average, from zero to 20 years. The first 2-5 years are usually under warranty.
In general, everything is exactly the same as with the HDD.

In general, I was originally going to take a Samsung, but due to the fact that this article describes that they fail unexpectedly, I decided everything buy intel, plus, there are articles on the Internet about the guarantee of intel, that you can send them directly in case of something and get a replacement. If you are going to save money and take a gray product, this will play in your favor.
