We have a smallish cluster (3 nodes, 30TB RAW storage) with 6 Intel dc S3500 
120GB disks for journals.
We have between 300-600Mbit of continuous incoming data and lose a 2-3 percent 
of lifetime per week.
I would highly recommend to monitor this if you are not doing this already ;)

Buying bigger SSDs will help because the writes are spread across more cells.
So a 240GB drive should last 2x a 120GB drive.

Cheers,
