I have run three SSDs, in every case I only run the operating system and specific software that I desire to load quickly from the SSD, and everything else (especially data storage) is offloaded to traditional hard drives.
I've had one of these fail, and it failed sequentially slow enough that I was able to get most everything I wanted to off of it (I booted up, and things were behaving strangely, and I was worried it was the SSD so I immediately began backing up everything I could. When I rebooted again the SSD was dead).
That's just an anecdote, but I certainly take the concerns about their durability to heart. Wonderful devices but I do not trust them as much as an HD, and you can't even trust HD's terribly well :-]
