What is the likelihood that your RAID card fails, or that the battery that reported 'good health' only lasts 5 minutes and you lose data before power is restored? What is the likelihood of human error?
These are all things that happen sometimes, sure. The problem with the cheap SSDs is that they happen downright often if you actually test for it. If someone is aware of the risk and makes an informed decision, fine. But most of the time I see articles like the one that started this thread that are oblivious to the issue, and that's really bad.
