It would be nice to see the SSD manufacturers get a clue about recovering data. Having the device fail catastrophically is nuts; it means that all of the carefully designed recovery schemes in the file system are basically worthless. Yuck.

Agreed. Right now it is a performance arms race - IOPS trumps everything. However, bigger and bigger enterprise vendors are doing rigorous qualification tests on SSDs for white-labeling purposes and demanding that the firmware be bulletproof. Admittedly the enterprise workload is a bit different from a laptop (servers never go to sleep) but they are the ones accumulating the most runtime given 24 hour uptimes.
