In reply to Anonymous. I am not sure as the warranty reduction on hard drives is the result of a specific occurrence whereas this leaves the SSD industry pretty much unaffected. The raising of SSD warranties is actually in tune with their lifespan and reliability and one might have suggested that five years warranties should have been there initially. AS far as SSD shortcomings, there is every reason to believe that will live a VERY long and happy life if they make it through the initial break in period where, traditionally, firmware shortcomings have existed.

Talk about shooting themselves in the foot! I would think this would be a time when they would want to do all they could to keep the HDD users and future users. It’s like they are helping consumers make the move over to SSD’s.
