"When a HD died early, you could also imagine undetected manufacturing flaws that finally gave way. With SSDs, at least in theory that shouldn't happen"
Why shouldn't it? Isn't it just hardware too?
"With spinning HDs, drives might die abruptly but you could at least construct narratives about what could have happened to do that"
Why can't you do the same with SSDs?
It feels like the author's main complaint is the frustration of not understanding SSD hardware as well.
Is this a valid complaint? Are SSDs magical in some way? I'm not an expert but... It's just hardware with pieces that do stuff. Why can't we come up with an understanding of why it fails?
