Assume 2 year life of the Ax
365 days per year (your mileage may vary ;) )

10,000/(2*365) = 14 writes/day

14 writes a day is not really a lot, if you put volatile files there (logs, programs with configuration files, etc.)

So, I only put static kinds of stuff there--backups, restore software, registrations for software for when I have to restore, etc.
I just re-read his post trying to figure out what you were talking about, I thought he was referring to storage cards (SD/CF). I didn't realize he meant the built-in storage, otherwise I would have given the same answer. =)
