SSD drive died - I disabled much from logging - what (still) fills my drive?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Just the OS or something else?

VM and jail storage in a mirror vdev/pool. Constantly written. One of the VMs is Elastiflow on Ubuntu.

Monitoring health with Scrutiny and Grafana. No issues with 50% of "Percentage used" in SMART output. Replaced with new ones shortly after going over 50%

For an OPNsense installation even with Elastic 1 TB is plenty. And at the end of the day you need to store the data *somewhere*. So even if you could use an external Elastic instance with Zenarmor in the free or home tier, that one would probably run on an SSD, too - as does my Elastiflow.

I'd categorise the two mentioned products as "prosumer". I have dozens of the Samsung 970 at home, friends' homes, at work, ... never lost one so far.
