- SSDs have a pretty bad rep of breaking down a year or so into their use.. haven't seen apple specific reports, but if you google SSDs.. it's an issue for a lot of people
Odd. I've been through 6 different SSD's and not 1 has ever had problems or failed. Out of those 6 I've had a few that I've used for more than a year without issue. Manufacturers would be screwed if the drives died 1 year out of their 2/3 year warranty.

The only thing I can think of is the Sandforce firmware defect which was resolved recently. But that was to a specific chipset and it wasn't actually failing.
