Since data is read from things like Flash and SSD drives far more often than it is written to them, the odds are that you will upgrade to a larger, faster drive long before you actually notice any wear and tear.
I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Thanks Dennis. I've noticed that less and less storage space on a flash drive and always wondered why.

Thanks a lot, eschwartz. I was counting on a million!
