Failure of an SSD is likely to be sudden, with total loss of data. At least with a spinning drive there may be odd noises to give you some hints that it's on the way out, and if it's not the heads or control circuitry that fail, data loss may be restricted to a tiny fraction of the drive.
Anyway, there's no such thing as a reliable drive. Back up your data.
