I looked up the life of an Intel X25-E: Extreme SATAII SSD drive in the Intel Product Quick Reference Matrix Q3 2009.
This info is a little old, burt might be fine for "early adopters".

This time frame only had 32G + 64G in one form factor.
"Write Endurance: Up to 1 petabyte (PB) of random writes over three years."

The X25-M X18-M:
"Write endurance: Five years under typical client usage."
This time frame only had 80G+ 160G in two form factors

I have never "done the math" myself, and forget where I got the figure
of 100G/day for 5 years.
