FWIW, I have several systems using SSD only.  The maker being Crucial.  I was 
not an early adopter.

I looked at the "worst" system which uses the SSD entirely and hosts several 
Virtual Machine images
as well as being used for Video processing and compiles, SMART reports a power 
on time of 16,760 hrs.  It also estimates this to be 3% of the expected 
lifetime.  The Reallocate_NAND_Blk_Cnt is 0.

Just like any storage component if one is concerned with potential failure the 
protection against that is RAID.
Nothing stops one from using SSD in a RAID configuration and achieve the 
performance advantages.

FYI, I've replaced a WD Red drive in an NFS server after just about 3 years of 
operation.

At this rate it is entirely possible that my SSD drives will outlive me.  :-(
