The difference with SSDs having initially seen problems as far as limited writes to disk is due to that technology only having been around for some 6-7yrs. while mechanical drives have been in use on desktop machines since the early 80s when first being introduced in very small sizes! It then took 20yrs. to see the first 1tb size drives coming out. Lately the 5tb size has appeared.
Longevity will also depend on how well cooled a system as temps are the worst enemy for any drive! Good ventilation, additional fans if needed will be a plus factor not only to drives but all hardwares. As far as Mushkin while not being as popular brand wise they are one of the better memory manufacturers producing gaming and other memory. Kingston is another one with their Hyper X memory rated high as well as Corsair. Dump Memorex, PNY, and a few others! A good SSD depends on which memory company sees a high rating as far as how good their drives will be overall.
OCZ is an excellent high ranking company as well as Crucial. For a look at the top rated for 2016, Best SSDs of 2016 - CNET
When looking at the average $300+ tag on the larger models note that the two 2tb WD Server class drives here were picked up for only $70 a pop! Compare that to $600+ for a 1tb SSD!
