Here's an excerpt from an article on http://icrontic.com/news/micron-alle...nand-endurance

"Even Intel?s MLC-based X25-M G2 drive is estimated to have a 31,500 cycle write endurance, which is good for 20GB of erase/write sequences a day, every day, for five years. If that?s not enough, the company has included a 100GB/day margin of error."

Quite honestly for the price, I would pay $280 and replace them yearly because that's how noticeable the speed increase is.
