I do a lot of file transfers - typically I transfer at least 5GB from an SD card to the tablet every day.

I'm just concerned about the effect that has on the tablet's flash memory. This much transfer definitely shortens its life, but by how much? Should I care?

Endurance for SSD NAND (not sure how much different that is from phone/tablet NAND) is typically stated in petabytes. Read this:

If NAND in tablets is remotely similar we should be fine.
