No, I don't "rather" budget for replacement. I *always* plan for
replacement. All storage, whether flash or rotating, will wear out and
fail and need to be replaced.

Once you start treating storage as consumable you stop worrying about
micro-managing wear and let the storage manage itself the way it was
designed.
