Unlike spinning disks, where only a problem with the platter will truly
make the data unrecoverable, when an SSD goes south, it's toast.

I have my OS on 2 mirrored SSDs, record to a filesystem on a single SSD
but back that up to a mirrored pair of spinning 2TB drives nightly.  The
more important the data stored, the less I trust any single component in
the system.
