Hmm, lets do some math:
17394 hours "on"-time equals 724.7 days (at continous "on").
6894 GiB written at 120 GiB drive sizes gives 57.4 Drive-Writes
(at optimal wearleveling every cell would have been written 57-58 times)

The used Sandforce controller (likly a SF-2281) is not the best at
wearleveling, so the  "use"-count per cell will be most likely more
than double that.

For my personal use I would replace that Drive asap.
- There is no warranty for it anymore (time since buy)
- You can't buy it new anymore (discontinued)
- There are more reliable drives available.

I'd go for a Samsung Evo 850, that will give you five years of warranty.

But, it's your drive, you make the decissions.
