> Are SSDs more reliable these days?

In general consumer grade SSDs are more reliable than desktop hard
drives and have a longer expected lifetime (5 to 10 years versus 5
years) however in this usage pattern that may not be the case.
Although SSDs tend to have controller failure and from that they die
without any warning at all and in a way that data can not be recovered
whereas a hard drive usually reports SMART problems and if you are
tracking these you can usually recover some of your data before it
totally dies..
