The life expectancy of every drive in the line up is the same, 1.8 million hours (205 years).
Based on the above, the vast majority of users would be ok with a 250GB drive. I dont see but a small fraction writing anywhere close to 54GB a day at least in terms of longevity, a 250GB drive should last most folks 10-20 years. And by then who knows what storage options exist.

OS and play a game or 2 on the SSD, when done, either delete or use something like Steam Mover to junction link the transferred game to the HDD and back if you ever want to play that one again? Overall more total space, though a lot more transfer time.
Yup big SSDs are usually more of a convenience then necessity. But prices are really coming down so 1TB and many can forego a HDD entirely. I did that but have a 4TB external for storage.
