I can't express how happy I am to see this post. I made to decision to move all our database servers to Intel 510's 120gb months ago and it was difficult to find any data on long term use in an enterprise environment for any SSD's let alone consumer ones. Ordered several new 520's last week as spares and to replace the drives in our web servers, looks like it was a good choice after all.

I found the write speed improvements from overprovisioning the SSD 20% especially interesting. Although probably irrelevant if your webservers are mostly doing reads.

Thanks for the link. This will come in handy since were moving to 520's across the board including our database servers eventually.
