i've had one potentially important ssd fail within 15 hours of my copying
stuff onto it; it failed completely (ie, the bios hung up probing it).
the drive was marked "refurbished", which makes me think i was rather a victim
of an experiment (``can we refurbish ssds that have previously shown a fatal failure?'' ... `perhaps not!').
otherwise, i've had nothing but luck with ssds: they are fast, quiet, and withstand movement.
