Do you mind not having local warranty? The Crucial MX100 256GB should be good. Getting from Amazon would be slightly cheaper though.

Unless you BT 24x7, there is nothing to worry about. Make sure don't defrag SSD.

Some brands warranty ends when the media wear counter reach 0 or certain write amount like 37TB. Most consumers will not reach the limit during the warranty period.

My Intel 530 retail box ssd warranty do not check for media wear or write amount.

Ic. does less volume = less write amount? or its according to usage?

According to usage. Do note that there is write amplification. The ssd will write few times the amount of data than the intended amount in computer.
