are ssd reliable ?

I had a corsair Reactor which died, became unstable and was generally crap. It got replaced under RMA, I sold the replacement straight away, and now have a 120Gb Agility 3 which has been spot on since I bought it at least a year ago.

Dont they have a limited amount of writes before they start to become unreliable. The only reason I am aware of this is I defragged my SSD a few times before reading you dont/should not defrag an SSD

Yes, they have a limited life, but you have to write 20GB a day, every day, for 20 years or something stupid before they become write only.

I'm up to 5TB of host writes after 2 years on my 160GB X25-M and it is still 100% life.
 
Well .... I have a SanDisk 120gb drive and it just failed after six months. My boot drive too, so very annoying.

I have never had a hard drive fail (or at least it gave warnings first) but this just stopped working one day and is 'common' if you scan the internet.

SanDisk are relatively new to the market.

The number of X25-Ms or Intels own controller drives dying are much less common.

If you buy at the bleeding edge, you tend to have issues :p
