This is a maturing market and it seems that answers must vary
depending on what technologies are used in a specific device. For a
couple of pointers see

  http://serverfault.com/questions/14189/reliability-of-ssd-drives

  http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-9896566-64.html

Note Samsung's comment in particular in the second link. Of course
manufacturers will try to allay fears.

Why not try one or try a couple of them in raid-1 form - and, of
course, take regular backups? I've seem a number of hard disks fail so
don't expect perfection from either technology.
