850 Evo Life Expectancy (not considering writes)

I purchased a used 1 TB Samsung 850 Evo last year (before prices dropped on SSD).  I felt comfortable because the writes on the drive were 0, however, I did not think about manufacture date and power cycles and hours.  Doing the math -- it appears I have done almost all of the power cycles so I believe the listing for the drive was accurate when it stated the drive was pulled from a server that never wrote to it.  So what concerns me are the power on hours as the drive has 45k+ hours.  Again, not many writes though.  

 

Question is: Should the actual age and power on hours be of concern when the drive has few writes?
