The more you use it, the slower it gets. Also, the more you put on it, the slower it gets. Usually drives hit a median where they don't get any slower.. some don't handle it as well (ie Crucial m4, Samsung 830)
You can remedy this by keeping the drive at least 10% empty. You can do this simply by making the partition smaller than the total capacity of the drive.
Here's an example of how some drives handle it.. note that this is hammering them with a lot more data than you would be writing, but it basically accelerates what you would see:
That's the transfer rate, access times are even more affected, and arguably even more noticeable
