I just can't get used to the concept on an expiration date on my

FWIW, I have several systems using SSD only. The maker being Crucial. I was not an early

I looked at the "worst" system which uses the SSD entirely and hosts several
Virtual Machine images
as well as being used for Video processing and compiles, SMART reports a power on time of
16,760 hrs. It also estimates this to be 3% of the expected lifetime. The
Reallocate_NAND_Blk_Cnt is 0.
Just like any storage component if one is concerned with potential failure the protection
against that is RAID.
Nothing stops one from using SSD in a RAID configuration and achieve the performance
advantages.
FYI, I've replaced a WD Red drive in an NFS server after just about 3 years of
operation.
At this rate it is entirely possible that my SSD drives will outlive me. :-(
