I disagree.

SSD write lifetime is longer than you think.

http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html

"We assume perfect wear leveling which means we need to fill the disk
2 million times to get to the write endurance limit.

2 million (write endurance) x 64G (capacity) divided by 80M bytes /
sec gives the endurance limited life in seconds.

That's a meaningless number - which needs to be divided by seconds in
an hour, hours in a day etc etc to give...

The end result is 51 years!"
