Thanks for including this information - it's similar to experience I've had with SSDs for $work. I'd be really surprised if we care about builds on the xserves in 8-10 years (given our previous experience with the ppc to x86 transition).
Somewhat related, I record TV shows to USB sticks (mini-SSDs) and I find that they tend to fail after a number of cycles (well, they are cheap).
I can usually recover by a complete reformat, but of course that burns up more spare blocks; time to break out the spinning rust that I used to use...
