Could you publish non-anonymized SSD reliability data?

When Google did publish their extensive HDD reliability study they removed all brand/model names, so it's pretty useless for consumers.




I suspect such data wouldn't be that useful even if it included model names because by the time you have good data on a model it's old enough that it's no longer price competitive.

Speaking of SSDs, I noticed that Netflix is already deploying the brand new Crucial m500, although their monkeys probably care more about cost than reliability.


Sure, information on particular models is pretty useless, but dredging the data might turn up model series that tend to outperform other series/other brands.
