The problem with SSD storage is that the blocks in a matched set of device start to fail at the same rate. Run long enough and you get enough bad blocks in all devices and they all fail at roughly the same time loosing the entire raid group, you don't have enough time between failures to replace and recreate before the next drive goes. Close monitoring of the physical failure rate is important to start swapping and rebuilding raid.
