Is there any concern with the SSDs about endurance problems. They have a finite write count for the memory on them: http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html

I'm not a computer hardware guy, but with 1000s of people playing all at once, will the lifetime of the SSDs be a month or 2 before having to replace them?

that depends on how much data gets written on the SSDs. I doubt it will be a terrabyte each day.

I don't believe it is the quantity of data written, but the amount of writes per "sector"? I was just wondering if it could pose a problem.

SSDs manage their sectors themselfs today, its called 'wear leveling'. It really is only a question of data quantity.
