I've had two types of SSD failures, one with super cheap drives that I knew would fail early and gave lots of warnings in the form of unpredictability before failure, and one of the more expensive SanDisk SSDs that failed without warning catastrophically one month after the 3-year warranty (which wouldn't have covered data, anyway).
With the cheap ones I knew to be paranoid, with the expensive one I lost a few things.
Every single HDD failure I've experienced has had so many warnings long before total failure that I do feel more comfortable with them, especially for unattended backup utilities where I don't notice how slow they are. I've never tried, but have wondered if platters can be transferred or PCBs replaced at least to transfer out the data.
