zfs mirror and unequal writes

I was reading up on SSD life spans and decided to take a quick look at
how many TBW my disks have gone through. Looking at one box I was really
surprised at the uneven amount of data written
0{backup4}# smartctl -a /dev/ada0 | grep LBAs
241 Total_LBAs_Written 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always
- 21004341355
0{backup4}# smartctl -a /dev/ada1 | grep LBAs
241 Total_LBAs_Written 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always
- 413475182465

I was quite surprised that there were WAY more writes to one disk that
the other. Give these are zfs mirrors, one says 192TB writes and the
other is 10TB ?!?!?!
They were installed at the same time
1{backup4}# smartctl -a /dev/ada0 | grep Power_On
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 094 094 000 Old_age Always
- 29445
0{backup4}# smartctl -a /dev/ada1 | grep Power_On
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 094 094 000 Old_age Always
- 29275

Any ideas what might be going on ? The Wear_Leveling_Count seems out of
whack too, although I guess sort of expected ?
