"the most compelling feature of these drives could be their ‘fail-in-place’ (FIP) software. It works by detecting any faulty NAND chips on the SSD, scanning for any damage, then moving the data into working chips."
Does that mean they store your data 3 times on the internal SSD then (periodically) use a voting system to decide if there's a failure? if they don't do this then how would they recover your data if there was an error? if they do do this then would that affect how much you can store on a 1TB SSD ie only 333GB?
Even with a system like this it wouldn't mean that it never dies. It just means it's less likely to die and, more importantly, might be able to give a warning before dying.
