No, some were purchased in pairs but most are different models, and sizes (32GB was mid-range in 2011 )

The problem with SSDs is that they often fail suddenly, and completely. Not even detected by the BIOS. A HDD can also fail suddenly, but it will usually give you hints about pending doom, and may continue to function in a degraded state.
