SSD will fail at 40k power-on hours (2021)
Nothing has eternal life.<p>Especially not electronics.  And certainly not more advanced semiconductors.<p>The rule-of-thumb is the lifespan of planar CMOS processes in years is proportional to the "node size" in nanometers.  So we are right now at 2-10 years.  Some specific ICs or specific applications or specific designs can be bigger or smaller than this but it's the average.<p>If you've ever worked on "antique" electronics, this is no surprise.
