According to this guy (http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html) writing to a new 64GB ssd at max speed continuously would still require your app to run for 51 years before it would hit the ssd limit designed into the drive... and fall over. 

I'm not vouching for the information, I just found it.
