I have a feeling that soon reports will come in about a lot of SSD's and a lot of SSD manufacturers that had issues with their firmware and it overwrote the same bits an SSD's start dying, with the current state of drivers/firmware quality in other products it would be a miracle if the shit didn't hit the fan at some point in the world of SSD.
And remember how long it took before people found out DVD-R's only last a few years? These things are just unavoidable it seems, it's never perfect from day/year one.
