Yeah, pretty much. Once you burn through the write endurance, the SSD is toast. That's why I keep my swap files, scratch space for compiling MAME, etc. on a hard disk and just keep OS and applications on SSD. That way I'm not using up the write endurance too quickly. The better SSDs give you plenty of warning before they fail, but the cheaper ones don't. In theory the Intel SSDs are supposed to go into read-only mode and let you recover data once they hit write endurance limit, but in practice that doesn't seem to happen. This is all pretty well-known stuff.
