" Only 70 full writes seems a little bit low for an SSD." That's what I thought. I was astounded to learn that that is in fact correct (at least for some of the drives we are using here). Automatic recovery is how the SSD copes with this failure rate.
But it is entirely possible that the cause of your problems are something else.

This SSD has a capacity of 64 Gigabytes so 53 Terabytes written is not bad for it. It already had the first few errors, so you might be right, as you see from this Smart data: 231 SSD_Life_Left 0x0013 096 096 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 So this "arbitrary" counter just went down from 100 to 096. I have the feeling that the current issues with this SSD are not really write problems, more hardware interface or firmware problems (as seen quite often for OCZ Vertex 2). Otherwise it would fail very early. According this data it should survive more 10th of years?
