details?

What's the failure mode when the NAND wears out? Does it detect that and fall back to being a regular HDD?
Hah! You did a funny. Hardware venduhs having sane error handling.
But even if it did fall back, it would become unusable. 200mb write stripes. Gives you about 1 IOP when writing random seeks.
I guess I really meant "usable long enough to get the data off it". Since this is mostly being talked abuot in the context of dinky gaming machines & laptops, rather than 4U servers, I figure the person buying probably hasn't bothered to set up a proper backup/archive regime.
