The last bit is also something I'd dispute... I think it was SSDs with early Sandforce controllers that routinely committed suicide, they just stopped working without warning.

With block deduplication, compression, virtual to logical sector mapping... data recovery is a hell of a lot more complicated with SSD.

So whatever you're using, you still need to back up.
