I've got four of the Intel 5xx series here in the
office with no failures. Three of them are over a
year old.

A year isnt very long.

It is if they are being torture tested during that entire year.

His wasn't.

I've had one of my drives for over 425 days, and it's "only" had 11TB of
writes to it (and it's only a 240GB drive). So it's nothing compared to
the 700TB to 1PB of writes that's happened to these drives.
