Yes, we've already established your experience is incredibly limited and not indicative of the state of the market. Stop buying bad drives and blaming the industry for your uninformed purchasing decisions.

Hell, as you admitted that your experience is limited to intel, I'd wager at least one of those drives that failed were probably the 660P's, no? Intel was not immune from making trash either, even if they did also make some good stuff (which for their top tier stuff, was technically was mostly Micron's doing).

I've deployed countless thousands of solid state drives - hell well over a thousand all-flash-arrays - that in aggregate probably now exceeds an exabyte of raw capacity since. This is my job. I've deployed individual systems with more SSD's than you've owned in total from the sound of it. And part of why it's hard to kill those old drives is they are literal orders of magnitude slower, meaning it takes literal orders of magnitude more time to write the same amount of data. That doesn't make them good drives, it makes them near-worthless even when they work, especially considering the capacity limitations that come with it.

I'm not claiming bad drives don't exist, they most certainly do, and would consider over 50% of what's available in the consumer market to fit that bill, but I also have vastly higher standards than most, because if I fuck something up, the cost to fix it is often astronomical. Modern SSD's aren't inherently bad, they can be, but not necessarily so. Just like they aren't inherently phenomenal, they can be, but not necessarily so. But they do exist, at a variety of price points and use-cases.

TL;DR Making uninformed purchasing decisions often leads to bad outcomes.
