Is this wear difference normal for the same SSD?

The white one is my ssd bought at the exact same time as the black one which is my twin's they're the exactly same model. Should I change mine it says "good" but how much do I trust that it has gone down from 24 to 23 in about 2 weeks this drive is 6 years old. Or is this just a bug on my drive displaying lower wear than what it really is considering my brother has more TBW and less wear. 

 

If I were to change there are currently 2 well priced options (same price) in my region which are the 2TB Lexar NM790 or 2TB Mushkin Vortex Redline does anyone have long term experience with any of these because I've heard that the IG5236 in the Vortex Redline has had some problems dying are those problems resolved? Is DRAM-cache really necessary if I game 99% of the time?

Is the drive quite full? I'm wondering if it is having trouble with wear levelling if you have a lot of data that doesn't change on it.

If my theory is right, try to delete anything you don't need to free up space and that might slow down the rate of dropping. A starting point can be the disk clean up tool built into Windows. If you've not removed old Windows Update files in a long time, they can really add up.
