> Are SSDs more reliable these days? In general consumer grade SSDs are more reliable than desktop hard drives and have a longer expected lifetime (5 to 10 years versus 5 years) however in this usage pattern that may not be the case. Although SSDs tend to have controller failure and from that they die without any warning at all and in a way that data can not be recovered whereas a hard drive usually reports SMART problems and if you are tracking these you can usually recover some of your data before it totally dies..
