note this analysis applies to a datacenter; for regular users, ssds are absolutely more reliable (ever knock an hdd over?)

Are you sure about this? Where's the data?

.. because I've knocked over HDD's, and never yet caused one to fail due to it.

They are more fragile, I'll give you that.

Show me a 15 or 20 year old SSD that's still working! I worked with 20 year old hard drives that still run like new.
