I think this is somewhat misdirected because most end users don't know to think about reliability. When the storage fails, "the computer broke", they take it in somewhere and the tech gives them a fixed system with the data gone but had the CPU burned out, they would be just as accepting for the data to be gone in that case too with a "sorry couldn't save it".

The marketing might include a x-million r/w cycles in it, but it's going to be way under presented vs the speed.

That simply reaffirms customers don't care about reliabilty as they do the price tag.

They would if they were aware.
