They seem to be, but I'm one of those odd people who's distrustful 
enough of hdds to use raid1 (or better) on desktop systems and I would 
do the same for SSDs too.


HDDs aren't particularly reliable devices in any case. This is one of 
the reasons we need backups.


Data point: I have a 5-disk RAID0 (stripe) array of 64Gb Intel E25-E 
drives for bacula spooling. In the last 2 years it's had about 3PB of 
data pass through it and none of the SSD devices has so much as dropped 
a bit.

On the other hand I've had to replace 2 of the 12 "enterpise SATA" 
mechanical hard drives in the same backup server (1 in a 6 disk raid10 
array for the database and 1 in a 6 disk RAID6 array used for the 
OS/general data)
