With so much written data (SSD), should I still buy this?
(iMac 24, 256GB, purchased in September 2021.)
This amount of written data counts for a lot. I'm worried because the SSD is not replaceable
Thanks

I'm a bit confused because you ask if you should buy this, but then you stated it was purchased in September 2021. So by whom was it purchased in September 2021? Is this screenshot from a third party whom you're looking to buy this iMac from?

Looks like the diagnostic tool says the SSD health and lifetime is excellent Do you not trust it?

sorry.
I would buy it now. Originally it was newly expected in September 2021. I am actually worried about the amount of written data. I don't know if that's a lot of what it says

I still don't understand what the purchasing arrangement/history is here, but assuming that diagnostic tool is accurate, I wouldn't worry about it - it says the SSD has 97% of its lifetime left.

That computer is lightly used. For one year old computer, having only over month of runtime and only 3% of life used is low. My computer would have much longer lifetime and likely much higher lifetime used. At this rate the SSD should last another 30+ years which is well beyond your likely use.
You worry too much...
