All laptops bought here are SSD, we expect longer life than conventional HDDs, especially with field engineers with their bumps and knocks. 3-5 years should be the norm at least. And ours are all encrypted as well. They work a lot faster than HDDs.

Why would you treat an SSD any different from a HDD ? They are the replacement hardware for all future equipment.

Possibly the question is what conditions is your laptop working in ? Extreme cold, heat, humidity ? Is the PC overheating ? Just seems strange to have the SSD fail twice in such a short period. Unless the manufacturer is using the cheapest hardware available, not unknown to happen in my experience.
