The most fragile part of the PlayStation, just like the GameCube and many other consoles, is the optical drive. I don't know what the AFR is for a typical CD-ROM drive, but when you consider that the PlayStation hardware is 20 years old, it's unsurprising that so many of them have failed.
So I think flash card readers for the PlayStation are a much more interesting technology.
