1. It will become obsolete due to size before it wears out
2. Don't defrag, It won't 'kill it', but it is simply unnecessary . Windows enough not to do it.
3. Don't fill it up past about 85%

Don't stress. It's just another drive.
All the scare stories about SSD's dying an early death were from the first round of small consumer grade drives.
That is no longer a problem.

My eldest SSD, a Kingston 120GB, has 1,529.9 days Power On Time. 4.2 years.
Still at 99% health.
Currently, it is the drive for video and image editing scratch space.
