If I were buying SSDs, HP is not at the top of my list of well known SSD vendors that have an excellent data integrity record, probably owing to an experience many years ago with HP branded MegaRAIDs that only had a known data corruptor in the HP "blessed" firmware.
My personal theory is that consumer gear tends to get better tested over the long run since millions of units out in the field will result in a lot of weird corner cases actually happening. The electrical engineers I know love it when their products are in high volume production, as it makes it a lot easier to find patterns and the underlying causes of failures. In contrast, low volume niche products will always have lurking bugs deep in obscure corners that haven't been exercised.
