Recently had a small cluster (12 nodes) where close to half the SSDs used for the root filesystems failed in a span of a few months.

Turned out to be a defective batch from manufacturer. SSDs are normally reliable but in my experience are not immune to problems.

Is correlated risk an area where HDDs have a fundamental advantage over SSDs? Un-diversified RAID arrays were notorious even when spinning rust was the only contender.
