> I remember 20 years ago HDDs were not meant for eternity either, but they definitely outlived the usefulness of the computer that they were bought with...
Anecdotally I remember HDDs failing sometimes for me and my friends/relatives back in the day. Now it barely happens for SSDs. Hell, even supposedly problematic old Intel from late 2000s still works fine in the same old MacBook I gave to my mother after using it for years.

I wonder what it the actual data regarding this.
