I fail to see how that is relevant... If you lose your data because of a
failing disk you lose your data. Whether or not you get a replacement
drive does not change that fact. The length of a warranty might be an
indication of the expected life of a product, but it says nothing about
the state of one individual drive.

Again, relevance?

Still no argument to replace an existing working one... And as I asked
Valeri, can you please provide us with links indicating the poor quality
of Corsair SSDs (in general)?
I do not know how SSDs fail, but when regular HDs start to fail you
usually have some time to get a replacement before they fail altogether.
I would expect the number of reallocated sectors to increase, but still
have a little time to replace the disk once that happens. And supposing
the disk actually does store the number of "retired" blocks this disk
seems fine:
