Re:My SSD died yesterday (Score 1)

<snip> I spent the extra time to convert my Gentoo install into a read-only drive that hosts everything except /var and /home, /etc and /tmp are located on ramdisks and /etc is copied up from another directory at boot.

<snip> I also used nilfs2 as it's filesystem, screwed up it's entry in /etc/fstab so the garbage collector never runs, and left a bunch of unallocated space at the end of the drive for wear leveling.

Not a single problem yet.

If you have to do all that to make an SSD reliable, I'd say they aren't reliable enough for normal consumer use yet. :)
