how are the SSDs these days with respect to MTTF? I recall reading articles about SSDs having shorter MTTF than traditional HDs..

  Enough to read and write over 2 petabytes. Of course these are as small of a sample size as you can get. Also, the Intel didn't fail as much as refused to continue in non-recovery mode out of an abundance of caution. I expect SSDs without moving parts have well exceeded MTBF of magnetic drives already: http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experim... Capacity was the last frontier in terms of benefit of HDD over SSD and it looks like that is being squashed too. (Edit: Cost per GB is still going for HDD, but that is probably on the horizon too).

    Consumer SSDs can handle 2 petabytes. Some enterprise SSD's that are sold for almost nothing @ Ebay are rated up to 25-100PB

      consumer vs enterprise SSDs? Interesting.. they are not made on the same line?
