And they are probably setting themselves up for a similar fate in the future by replacing them all (failed and working alike), and at once.

- lucb1e 8y agoThey don't fail that reliably, unfortunately. It's not a light bulb with a certain number of hours on it. See Backblaze's drive statistics. Edit: I just saw it's about ssds and not hdds, but while Backblaze might not have stats on those, I'm fairly sure my comment still applies. Not 100%, but I assume they account for failures due to predicable issues like write wear.
- nemothekid 8y ago>I'm fairly sure my comment still applies There are other comments in this thread that go into this, but your comment doesn't apply. Another poster used the light bulb analogy well to describe SSD failures. It's very common to see SSDs that were purchased at the same time, that were likely manufactured in the same batch, fail within hours of each other. Im' pretty sure I even read this fact on Backblaze.
