I dont know about that. Every SSD that has failed for me did so quite unexpectedly and prematurely, I haven't yet taken an SSD to its write limit and none of them have survived more than a few years except the very first Intel 80GB gen 1.
I had my first Intel 32/40gb fail just outside warranty (originally 1 year iirc). But I was so addicted to the speed difference I kept with them... The price difference isn't bad for laptop/desktop use now. But man, can't even consider it for my nas.
Never had a failure on any of my personal laptops or PCs. I see it all the time though at work on our servers. I think what an individual considers a lot of read/writes is a drop in the bucket compared to what servers do.
