So I have an OWC 480 GB Pro 6G that, at the time, was $1.5k. It has an interesting intermittent failure mode: If the temperature of the laptop goes below 16 C (60 F), the system won't recognize it. Guess what the problem is? Condensation. It collect inside the SSD's plastic clamshell and shorts some of the pins. They failed to seal it and failed to include a desiccant in that space, or just pot in the whole thing in epoxy.
Conclusion: Cheap, poorly engineered and poorly tested.
