Has anybody done an SSD failure study similar to the old Google study from a few years back? (Or the more recent one from Backblaze.)
My 90GB Vertex 3 is approaching two years old (so I know I'm past the "cradle death" phase, OCZ or not), and SSDLife is still reporting 100% health and a projected failure date in 2021. But I know that's just a reflection of write wear on the NAND.
IIRC, 3yrs old was when the failure rate of spinner HDDs started to tick upwards. So I'm curious if there's a similar time frame for SSDs, since they've been out for a good 5+ years now and somebody ought to have some actual data.
