Agreed, this was sad to see. Their HDD articles have enough valuable knowledge+expertise to be an effective advertisement for BackBlaze - reading those posts made me revisit using B2 for my own needs.
This article was clickbait. You expect their typical blog post quality, and instead get "An SSD should last as long as its manufacturer expects it to last".
Hope they step it up for the next post (or are not afraid to stay quiet until they have some interesting data to write about)

I can echo that, since reading those articles, I have been using B2 more, and gifting years of BackBlaze to beloved lusers. I think it just takes time to generate good data like this though, and it seems that SSDs from the last ~3 years have considerably lower rates of unforeseen failure than hard disks, which makes measuring failures more difficult.
