I think the only complaint people have about SSDs is reliability and that's been pretty well demonstrated to be more-or-less equal to HDDs. What else have you heard? Going from HDD to SSD is probably the greatest single upgrade you can make for a general computer experience (e.g. boot times, application load times, etc.).

I'm afraid to get an SSD with all the negative comments on them. My non SSD drives have not failed me.

It will certainly improve the performance over regular spinning disks, particularly for random seek times and the number of IOps per second the array can handle.
My concern would be more with longevity if you use it fairly hard because that caching can beat up an SSD. We moved to RAID1 with SAS SSD bceause the SATA ones were bottlenecking us and not lasting as long as we needed - but at the same time, We have probably around 2PB of disk space and single VMs with 60+TB, so the scale is probably a little larger than you need. IF you're using this day-to-day but not slamming it most of the time, you're probably good - you could set it to write caching only, especially if your main array is RAID 5/6 (those speed up reads but the write penalty will make a dent that an SSD would typically be very useful for.

You mean not everyone enjoyed waiting 3 minutes for your computer to boot up?
Hopefully there won't be a crash on flash storage, long enough for these prices to hold steady or get discounted even further by the time Black Friday arrives this year.

That's the 1tb model. The 2tb is $156
Edit: Never mind. I thought P41 was SK Hynix

At least with the 670p you know you're getting QLC.
Don't ever listen to any of that crap. M.2 SSDs are amazing.
