Actually, there is a limit on the number of writes per memory address of
about 10,000.  So, if the DB is *read only* accessible it would last 6 years
or so, but if a lot of data is modified and stored each day you could end up
having to replace it in a few weeks.
So SSD are best used to hold data that doesn't change often but needs fast
access like library files and the boot image.
