I think Mark is actually on the right track. I read an article that studied SSD deployments, and "infant mortality" (failure within the first year) was as high as 20%.

I would have installed a HDD for longevity too. (Except I might have gone with RAID-1, with a second HDD.)

Enterprise deployments have been very successful. And it was so good even Intel released RMA rates. SSDs got something around ½ the failure rates of HDs. And its only gonna get lower as the SSD market matures even more.

And you see SSDs in major SQL backends.

SSD reliability got a bad name due to companies like OCZ. But they got what they deserved with their bankruptcy.
