I haven't quite been able to grasp why Toms Hardware, which I view largely as a consumer/enthusiast review site would choose to analyze the failure rates of SSD's in a datacenter environment. How about going to IT departments that have "floater" laptops and seeing how long the drives hold up in those? I think the primary consumer reasons for purchasing SSD's are increased battery life and physical fault tolerance in laptops not the expectation that they'll outlast a standard HDD in a server setting.
