So if we are talking about bit rot in arrays, we are talking about protected data, we are talking about not having an issue when an SSD dies, because the data is still there in the form of partial data and parity data, it survives, but you have to go through a process to recover it.
Your argument about SSDs dying is blown out of proportion, I have seen hundreds of HDDs die and not a single SSD, yes the failure tends to be more catastrophic in SSDs, but seriously, even if your HDD dies, are you going to pay thousands of dollars for a data recovery service? It's more likely you will never see your SSD die than needing recovery service.
It's a whole lot better to have an SSD suddenly die in an array than to have an HDD spinning forever but slowly dying with bad sectors (that's how the bit rot occurs). Besides, my argument still stands, SSDs are virtually immune to bit rot, they do not have mechanical sectors that go bad, they only lose information if they are left unpowered for long periods of time and that's only corner cases on newer and crappier quality QLC drives.
See, I got 3 downvotes on that other post that I deleted because people just "read" something somewhere but have no interest in actually understanding it, they read info they are not interested and downvote, Slickdeals used to be a place of sharing and learning, now it's just a hub for trolls and haters. WTF happened to Slickdeals?

If you are in the market for a 500GB SSD, look no further. We use a business version of this drive at our deployment units where I work, we researched Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Total Bytes Written (TBW) and nothing came even close to Samsung, Micron kept showing up on a couple of models in second place, but we gave up searching for something better.
Only small capacities seem to be on discount though, I would have loved a 4TB unit TLC for my silent NAS.
