[HP Enterprise] released a critical firmware patch for its serial-attached SCSI (SAS) SSDs, after revealing that they would permanently fail by default after 32,768 hours of operation. That’s right: assuming they’re left on all the time, three years, 270 days, and eight hours after you write your first bit to one of these drives, your records and the disk itself will become unrecoverable.
All I can say is, "d'Oh!". And if you are using one of these SSDs, get the firmware updated as soon as you're able to.
