Prices will come down in time.

Reliability on most SSD's are high mostly because the lack of moving/degrading parts. Just make sure to NEVER defragment your SSD as it is not necessary and because it will degrade the SSD if you do it over a period of time.

I recently had a SSD fail just out of waranty. An instant and complete write-off.

As always the best stategy for data security is to make sure you have multiple backups of important data.

Cheers!

The likelihood of catastrophic unrecoverable failure of a storage device is proportional to the square of the difficulty of recovering the lost data.

LoL!

I would also factor in the importance of the last item being worked on multiplied by the inverse of the time between the failure and the deadline for completion!
