SLC drives are good for at least 100,000 cycles and all current SSD drives use wear levelling plus even more generous levels of sparing than mechanical HDDs. Even for constant spooling/unspooling (which is likely less wear than some other operations) that translates to a disk lifetime well in excess of the rest of the server components. WRT the ramdisk comment: Yes, but...... how much is 100+Gb of ram?
