Hmm. SSD has a bit of a reputation for being extremely fast, and quitting without any warning.
And it's getting worse as the manufacturers try and cram more data in smaller and smaller cells.
Some of the earlier Flash devices took 10000 write cycles or so to wear out, but this is dropping -
there's talk of making SSD's out of flash that wears out in as little as a few hundred writes !
Yes, they're pulling redundancy tricks (over provisioning and wear levelling) to cover this up,
but I have a nasty suspicion that there will be an assumption that "you'll buy a new machine/SSD
every two years anyway", so that it "doesn't matter" if new SSD's fall over very quickly.
In contrast, hard drives typically give some warning when they are on the way out.
