They have a limited lifespan when it comes to writing to the drive. I guess the memory cells can only handle being written over a certain amount of times -- but it's in the millions (i forget the exact number).
THE NICE THING ABOUT SSDS is....even if your drive fails (i.e. you've killed it by writing too many times), your machine will still boot, and you can still get all the data off it. It has an unlimited 'read' life cycle.
Also never, ever, ever defragment an SSD. ever.
