It's true, flash memory has a finite number of guaranteed writes. In reality if you're using a current drive it's unlikely you'll ever reach that limit, since the memory controller remaps sectors to even out writes over the entire range of memory storage. You'd need to be writing at the absolute maximum speed for months or years on end before one sector reached its write limit.
