I keep SSDs less than half full and use trim, paranoiacly. Because of this I use an SSD for a year or two before I get a larger one, or an additional one (software and game assets keep getting larger!).

I've never had even the cheapest mwave or microcenter special ssd die. Sata or nvme m.2, nothing.

I also haven't had a spindle die in 15 years, ever since I started letting them sleep and using UPS to smooth out power.

That noise you hear is me knocking on wood pretty frantically.
