What do you expect? These companies are making toys for retail consumers. If you want devices that guarantee data integrity for life or death, or commercial applications, those exist, come with lengthy contracts, and cost 100-1000x more than the consumer grade stuff. Like I seriously have a hard time empathizing with someone who thinks they are entitled to anything other than a basic RMA if their $60 SSD loses data
There's a big difference in this depending on why the SSD lost the data. If it was fraudulently declaring a lack of write-back cache despite a lack of observed crash-consistency, due to not just innocent negligience in firmware development, that's far different from some genuine bug in the FTL messing up the data mapping.
Personally, I expect implementing specifications properly. That's it.
About "commercial applications", let's face it. Those "enterprise solutions" cost way higher not because they are 10-1000x times "better", but because they contain generous "bonuses" for senior stuff.
