Maybe an SSD under a heavy datacenter I/O load is indeed less reliable than an HDD.

But in a laptop, a device that you lug around, move around while working, and sometimes even drop, a precise mechanical device has a much larger chance to misbehave, to my mind. Its I/O load is way lower than in the datacenter, too.

Used to be that whole series of SSDs had data corruption problems (which in one case ultimately lead to the demise of the manufacturer). Still happens. Recent example: Apple.

Power failure behavior of most consumer oriented SSDs is also data corrupting.
