It's sort of a devil's bargain - the performance of SSDs is so much better that I can't pass up using it over a spinning disk even if they occasionally lose everything. There was a great game for the original Nintendo called "Pinball Quest". As you advanced through the game you could get upgrades such as side stoppers, stronger flippers, etc. You bought these items from a demon in between levels. After the red "Strong Flippers", the next upgrade was the purple "Devil's Flippers". The trick was that occasionally they'd turn to stone when you needed them and possibly cause you to lose the pinball. But they were such an upgrade over the Strong Flippers (when they weren't turned to stone) that you bought them anyway.
SSDs are kind of like that.
I'm more worried about everybody else who gets an SSD and doesn't take the right precautions, because everybody sells SSDs as being so much more reliable than mechanical drives.
I worked as a PC technician for a while recently. Of the handful of catastrophic failures of mechanical drives we had, the majority of those were ones that were physically dropped, resulting in a head crash. Otherwise, we generally always managed to save data from failing drives. Any failing SSD we encountered was just dead, since there are really only two states: Fine or failed. There was nothing we could do except refer them to a data recovery company that charges thousands of Euros.
We've experienced exactly the same thing. Our general course of action is to perform a hard power cycle of the server through IPMI - a warm cycle doesn't seem to work. I've always presumed it was down to dodgy SSD controller firmware given the way it suddenly stops appearing in the output of fdisk -l.
