The fact that both died after such a similar time frame indicates that something is going on. Assuming he is not hitting very high TBW numbers, could be a voltage issue from the PSU even. Then again TBW spec wise these are quite weak, so it wouldn’t be that unreasonable to hit it given some slightly niche use case.
My Intel 520 series 60GB 2.5" SATA SSD from 2011ish is still going strong. It’s the OS drive in my FreeBSD server
Pretty crazy how this modern shit fails so quickly
Same experience and use with 60GB Kingston SSD. Before FreeBSD it run Windows 7.
