Sorry I missed your question, if you got the latest SSD they are rated in the 100,000+ write cycles and is tested by literally writting every spot, every run, which will never happen in real life. At that pace you can expect 3-5 years as well as plenty of warning from the driver, for a very intense user, longer for the typical user. (I hope you got SLC and not MLC.)

Some tips, never defrag, make sure you have plenty of RAM in on the portable to reduce paging, turn off system restore, have auto-indexing and optimization off, anything that does uneeded disk writes and you will get m ore time out of it.

That said, even if you do none of this it should last you a preety good amount of time, why I a vauge about the actual time is that the technology has not been out long enough to get meaningful real world stats.

Final thing, as with a hard disk, I can never say this enought to people, and they never listen until that lose everything once, back-up, back-up, back-up!

No matter what you use you want to make back-ups and generally often, USB drives are real cheap, as is back-up software (often comes for free on USB drives).

Depending on how important your data is drives your back-up timing, for me it's daily incrementals and a weekly full back up. Highly critical things like software with keys and such I burn to DVD as soon as I get it, if it is a D/L movie I tend to copy it to another drive after I get it just in case.

You can do back-ups less frequently if you save off the stuff you really care about to another drive when you get it. My back-ups are scheduled and happen while I am asleep so it is no issue.

So I would not worry so much about using up all of your write cycles as much as the million other things that can cause data loss, and that is where a back-up saves the day.

Sorry for the delay...
