How much writes to expect from boot?

Question

If I create a VMs boot partition or boot drive on a local ssd how much writes/stress should I expect on the ssd. Say it’s a windows VM and I move the location of the desktop, documents, apps and all the data on to a iscsi drive from the San. What could I estimate the stress or load to be put on that drive?

Paging files, logs. What are the drives? Most of my servers have about 15 to 30 wear on the SSDs when we upgrade.
