You've done me proud...

30GB SSD, dated 2009!

Its been in daily use in a NUC running openelec/libreelec since 2013, and in an HTPC before that.

Anyone else running one this old?

How much did it cost??

Forty something pound if i remember rightly. It was on sale, and a really good price for the time. Email doesnt go back that far to check.

Did it die or did you just retire it? I've got a 120 ocz from 2012 that still gets occasional use

It died. Fired up the nuc last night, got a message saying no boot media. connected to a laptop, nothing.

Just yesterday, i asked on the libreelec forum about replacing the NUC with something newer, so it probably died out of spite

This thread has given me anxiety about my SSD dying now. Did you get any signs or warnings or did it just not boot one day?

No warning at all.
