Even if you write about 10GB worth of data to your SSD each day, it will hold out for years. There's a Dutch website called Hardware.info who's doing an absolute torture test on some Samsung SSDs. In under a month, they've simulated years of heavy duty use and they are still going strong.

how big are the files? i believe several review sites already calculated the life span (theoretically of course) of an ssd based on these write cycles. it will last for years i believe (5 i think, cannot remember, sorry)
this is based on a 100gb per day. that is intel's claim, i believe the target was 20gb.

but with that, 20gb is a lot for most people.

again, take this with a grain of salt, and these are theoretical
