This guide needs a part on "How an SSD fails" and explanations on what to expect from SSD failures and especially the soft-errors that may occur.

I also can't stress enough that SSDs are born for multi-threaded. If you aren't issuing multiple reads and multiple writes you are doing it wrong. If your data is sequential it is ok to send it in a single operation. If you can however issue multiple commands, do that. You'll have a better chance of getting all of them fulfilled at the same time.
