Publishing SSD reliability of datacenter setups would yield no useful information for everyday consumers. See my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24840914 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24840914. Neither load nor the operating environment of such reports will be anything remotely similar to everyday consumers' use and environments.
In 2015 Facebook published* its study of flash memory failures at scale. By all means it's a terrific paper (of course I'm biased) but I think it was irrelevant not only for consumers but pretty much 99% of the flash users in the industry.

- csnover 6y agoSorry, I was not clear. When I said company disk fleets, I was thinking of places like corporate head offices which have thousands of workstations, not datacentres.
- ksec 6y agoWell I am under the impression most DC would be operating in ideal condition compare to consumer usage. So it does provide some useful numbers in the grand overview.
