Set noatime, nodiratime options in the ext3 file system, and it won't write a new access time to files or directories. This greatly reduces writes to a mostly read-only file system. I've been using SATA SSD hard drives in a couple Ubuntu systems that are being used in device control applications. They are running the LinuxCNC distro, but not actually being used for CNC work. No problems so far!
These options are added to each general file system entry in /etc/fstab, where it probably says "defaults" now.
