SSD lifetime expectancy

[LinuxTester]

Hi folks,
I want to build a PC and for the storage(boot drive), I have settled in for a Apacer Thunderbird 64GB SATA III (The motherboard I have apparently supports only SATA II; but that is not the point).
I want to know what is the expected lifetime of the SSD (oh and it's quality is around 4 out of 5 stars with use with TRIM, the drive being used up to 24 hours continously.
Thanks for reading this, and if you want any more info about the drive or about the PC; don't hesitate to ask!

Why would you get a 64GB SSD when you can get 120-256GB for the same or slightly more?

Lifetime will be a read and write limit way beyond whatever you may experience in your lifetime.

Get at least a 250gb drive no less.

Never heard of that brand personally.

They could last anywhere from 1 year to 5 years depending on how much data is being written, read, and repeated. Unlike a mechanical platter drive, you won't have to worry about the disk not spinning anymore, just keep in mind it will get slower.

As mentioned already, go bigger. It's not that expensive anymore.

Wait... hang on. You want to build a PC but it's only SATA 2 compatible? Are you building a 6 year old PC?

What does that even mean? Most people that write reviews can't even note the difference between subjective and objective material.

The spec sheet lists 158 TB written for write endurance, but without knowing the NAND they're probably just lying.
