Even so, if an SSD dies within warranty, it should only ever be an inconvenience. If you lose data off one then you aren't backing up properly.

If you lose an entire night's planetary catpures it feels more than inconvenient. They can die in the middle of using them.

But I have found standard platter Hard Drives to be less reliable than SSDs of late.
The intel SSDs are only a few dollars more and well worth it.
