I had an ADATA SSD die on me recently after less than 1 month power-on time with negligible write throughput. Tons of reallocated sectors and it failed by refusing any further writes (after having previously caused some unexplained FS corruption a day earlier). (thread)

There are plenty of use cases that have this "rewrite one sector repeatedly" pattern - e.g. md-raid metadata includes an event count that basically increases every time the array is written to. I wonder if anyone else has seen this kind of early death and attributed it to this.

As someone in the industry, SSD firmware is universally crap. The only way it works as well as it does, is they hammer it into submission with testing and hope the hacks and workarounds they get in before shipping are ok enough.
