I've been using Intel SSDs in a datacenter for over 3 years now. X25-E, X25-M, 320, 520, DC S3500, DC S3700. Over 1,000 of them. Not one has failed. Just my experience though. A few are getting low on their media wear indicator (25% remaining) but they are getting replaced due to capacity issues.

Most drives, when they "wear out", simply flip to read-only mode. At least you can get your data at that point. Mechanical drives, on the other hand, are simply dead.
