No. SSDs have a *write* limit, you can read all you want.
And there's a per-block limit, so how many times you can write to a disk depends on the disk's size and the file's size.
For instance, if your disk can handle 10000 writes per block, then you could rewrite the entire disk that many times. If you're using 1/4th of the disk, you could rewrite your data 40000 times, and so on.
