Note: This is VERY edge-case, but if you put this in the gen4/front-side SSD slot in the Asrock phantom gaming ITX/ax mobo, you won't get correct measurements (like voltage/temp) in bios. I returned my mobo thinking that was the issue but it happened twice, and this was the issue. Not sure if it has any other effect (ie if it's a measurement error or a display error; since it showed impossible numbers). Anyways, I put it in the second gen3 m2 slot on the back of the mobo, and things have worked as expected. Happy with the performance so far (only several months in) Maybe ASrock has fixed this in a recent patch but I haven't checked.
The short of it of what I got from the artical was they are seeing that ssd are more reliable then traditional hdds but they are still early in their lives and will need to have more years to know for sure.
Personally anecdote but I've had 0 ssd drives die and I've got some ocz ssds that 10+ years old. I think issue with ssds is they tend to die suddenly and completely where hdds typically have a period where they start to give you indications they are starting to fail before they fail completely.
About 10 years ago I lost a hdd drive worth of data because I didn't have backups. Since then I've started backing up my data. As you said you can download applications again but the data itself such as taxes and documents need to be stored some place offsite. It doesn't do much good if your backup is destroyed in the fire that destroyed your main system.
I personally use a combination of syncthing to copy my data and freenas (now called truenas) to store it local and off site. This is an automatic system which I explained was critical as a manual one wont get done and that is when you will need it.

Hoped that help some.
Can anyone notice the difference between this and lower end drives? (I know we are enthusiasts, so maybe it doesn't matter.)
Honestly, I have had SSDs die on me (OCZ, Kingston, and Samsung). So, I care a lot more about reliability, cooling, and endurance. In my experience running drives over 90% full seems affect their reliability more. I guess there is less room for wear leveling and such.

Exactly

Yeah thanks... its pretty much what I was thinking... no matter the drive type we all need to do better backups... but when SSD drives go they just go... I have seen some people repair usb thumb drives by replacing the controller .. same with hard drives swapping the controller card off a good drive onto a bad drive if it hasn't physically crashed... but no one wants to get to that place.
For windows users there is a pretty easy tool called RichCopy that is available from Microsoft that will let you copy files from one drive to another... including over a network.

On the P1 1TB version you need to write 149GB none stop before writes slows down to 106MB/s, which is slower than SATA ssd sustain write of 500MB/s.(note most sata SSD can pretty much write 500MB/s none stop until full)
