I've already used smartlog to determine:

The spacing of the fall in MWI is quite consistant.
I lose a MWI value for every 4200 GiB of host data written to the SSD.
I lose a MWI value for every 3000 GiB of NAND writes to the SSD.

This means I will exhaust MWI at about 430 TiB host data (305 TiB NAND data)

I'll post the smart log of my intel drive once MWI reaches 90, which won't be long at this rate
