There is, roughly. This is a lab test as opposed to production monitoring, but it is still interesting. Obviously SSDs and HDDs are quite different technically, so the appropriate test is quite different. They write data continuously to see how long they last.
We've now written over a petabyte, and only half of the SSDs remain. Three drives failed at different points—and in different ways—before reaching the 1PB milestone[1]
Hardware.info did a "Write until it dies" test for a couple of 250GB Samsung SSDs last year. They found that the drive consistently exceeds the 1000 writes per cell spec.
