I'm trying to determine the best SSD for a very busy web server / MySQL server that does around 450GB/day in writes.

I originally purchased the Intel 520 480G SSD's (4xRAID-10) but now that I'm looking at it, I'm not sure they are really meant to be online 24/7 and constantly writing.

Looking at Intel's SSDs:

They have a "Datacenter" model which is the S3500 which looks to be more geared towards what I'm trying to do, but I'm concerned about it only having a write IOPS of 11,000 compared to the 520 which has a write IOPS of 80,000.

Anyone have any recommendations on what SSD for what I'm trying to accomplish here?

If you asking the question here then you really don't have enough information for a proper answer. Your best bet would be to have someone look at the workload of your system and advise you on the correct setup. A storage system is really easy to screw up, if it's critical you want someone who has experience to look at your setup.
