If your SSDs were wearing out after a year, and were warrantied for a year, I'm guessing you weren't using "enterprise" SSDs?



Even enterprise SSDs like Samsung's have a guarantee like "10 years or up to x TB of written data". So if you write a lot you can lose the guarantee after a year even with enterprise SSDs.


They were enterprise models (i.e. not cheap), but they had no warranty in the first place. Every single hardware supplier simply refused to give any. I _guess_ because of the expected wear and tear.


That's interesting. I don't even know how to buy these things without a warranty. Were they direct from the manufacturer?
