Failure Rate for SSDs

 
It's interesting to see these figures so we can compare them to HDD failures.

I have western digital drives at work that have ran 24/7 for 10 years now (yes really), as I believe they will fail soon 4 years ago I made a clone of them for a backup for when they finally decide to quit.

As far as SSD's I have only had one fail it was about 5 years old. Luckily it stopped writing to the disk so I had a warning. I simply got another drive and imaged it over.

SSD endurance is a largely overblown problem for regular users. My 850 Evo from 2015 has about 60 TBW and still works great 7 years later. It has long since been relegated to being a secondary drive for Steam games etc.

Of course... You've barely consumed 10% of its life.

Theoretically, a SSD should outlive a HDD by a wide margin.  No motors, no platters spinning on a spindle, no head/arm assembly to wear and eventually chatter on the platter, less heat production.  Of course, if the SSD is using lowest cost bidder semiconductors, it's lifespan is probably going to be short.  You do get what you pay for which is why I always paid the premium for Western Digital HDDs and Samsung SSDs.
