Help Converting SSD TBW value to useful information

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to convert an SSD's TBW endurance rating to something more useful. For instance, the SSD that I'm researching has a TBW rating of 360TB. Since I only write about 4 GB maximum on most days through file I/O:
Number of days in rating = 360 TB / (4/1000) TB/per day = 90,000 days or about 246 years.
This value seems seriously out of whack because no electronics equipment I know of lasts that long. Is there some figure that I'm missing?
