I knew what you meant. My point is that the drive is going to get maybe 200 rewrites from an average user before they retire it because it's too small for the new larger file sizes they will be working with. I'm guessing with that number, but I bet, if anything, I'm overestimating. It's probably closer to 50 rewrites for an average user.
