All kind of parts fail sooner or later. And some will fail sooner, SSD won't make expections to that - I've seen recent harddrives fail on people after a few weeks. But yes MTBF is usually stated with around 2 million hours for SSD drives. Consumer products do behave a bit differntly than enterprise products usually though. I wouldn't care too much for it, if it is just for streaming purposes they will durate much longer than in normal desktop use, as well as soon enough we will find ourselves wanting for the bigger capacities availible in 2 years from now. Just like conventional HDDs also did that to us when we thought, wow, 40GB, who will ever need more than 5 of these...
640k ought to be enough for anyone...
