1) When current SSDs fail, what is the sudden failure without warning rate
of those drives due to hardware component failure when compared to HDD units ?

2) When implementing hardware redundancy to handle the above issue, do
you mix enough different SSD manufacturers into your drive arrays so
that you can have every single drive from one manufacturer suddenly and
permanently fail without warning and still not suffer any data loss ?

SSDs are very useful for certain applications. They also have failure
modes that traditional drives do not.

Walking destinations on a map are further away than they appear.
