so wait they just die after being used for like 2-3 years? O.o who would go and buy like a 480gb ssd then.. thats just a waste of money.

They don't just die, its dependent on how much data is written to the drive. Look at the data written in the screenshots.

ROFL!! Well for sure that'd be a waste of money if they did only last that long, especially since they're super expensive.

But going by all the screenshots, everyone's seem to have almost a 10 year lifetime.

But who knows if that's actually accurate. But good point though.
