Jeesh bought a crucial drive last year and then the firmware bug thing happened, so instead of buying another crucial drive, I bought a sandisk (ultra sata) drive and now this happens. None of the first party nand makers seem to be immune from these nand killing firmware bugs, not even samsung. Actually, I take that back. Maybe solidigm/SKHynix? |

If you actually want a durable SSD, your best bet is probably to buy "new old stock" of a model that is 1-3 years old and has proven to be reliable.
Of course, it's not always easy to gauge the reliability of a product based on forum posts. A popular product that is 99.9% reliable will... still have thousands of unhappy people crying on forums if they sell millions of units.
In the end, you should probably just have some kind of daily (or better) backup system so that it's not a huge deal if your drive kicks the bucket. That probably makes more sense than obsessing over reliability in a world in which we as consumers don't have much insight into actual failure rates.
