In my SSD research I stumbled over a french site that had gotten its hand on the the failure rate for different hardware according to a French etailer. Here are SSD failure rates according to brand:
1TB drives:
2TB drives:
EDIT: A quick Google translate gives this additional information. This is failure rates for the first year only, ie failures within a year of the sale. So it is only infant mortality rates and so does not include any wear-out-the-flash failures. Also, it only includes the drives that have been returned to the store, not drives RMA'ed directly to the manufacturer, which mean manufacturers with good customer RMA service probably have their failure rates underestimated.
