so a mechanical drive running for ~40K hours with ~5% spend writing.
>easily 3x high end HDD's
how? high end HDD offer 2M MTBF, and with something like HGST 7K6000 you end up with pallet loads being retired at 50K hours run time 100% defect free.
>superior drive health monitoring
how? SSDs usually just die without any warning
>and far superior recovery/rebuild performance
you mean recovery/rebuild on a storage box level, because your data on dead SSD is unrecoverable gone forever

The warranty says you only get 75 or 125 full drive writes on the two higher end 20TB drives I looked at.
I can't tell you why it's that low, but that's what it says.

Sometimes SSDs just die, sometimes they go read-only. Sometimes HDDs just die too. Do you have any numbers?
