That seems a bit excessive. A MythTV install is only going to take a few 
GB, even on modern bloated distros. The only writing it's going to be 
doing is log data and the theme cache, and the occasional system update. 
I doubt you would see 128GB of writes over the life of the system, 
certainly not the thousand times that to necessitate a drive that large 
for the purposes of wear leveling.
