What, exactly, makes an SSD any more prone to quitting without
warning than any other device that includes electronic
circuitry like a conventional hard drive? Any credible
citations showing that sort of failure on high quality SSDs?


Both SSDs and hard drives, have firmware. Without any cites at
all, that represents an "exposure" in terms of product quality.


What is your point?


So my point is, no matter what the track record is to date,
the same fault modes can exist on SSDs, as on hard drives.
Both have rudimentary firmware, with no attempt to automatically
recover from bad situations.


The argument was that SSD is more prone to failure than HDD.
