My 3 of the first SATA SSDs are still in use from over a decade ago... I first had them in my home server as OS and Cache drives respectively, they later went into desktop use for a couple years when the server crashed and I replaced it with a mini pc that was smaller, faster and quieter. Then they eventually wound up in a few desk-pi cases with RPi 4 8GB units, and I handed them off to a friend a couple months ago. They're all still working and only 1 error between the 3 of them. IIRC, all 240gb crucial drives from early 2010's.
I've never had any spinning drives come close to that level of reliability. I've only actually had one SSD or NVME fail, and that's the first gen Intel drive in my desktop that had a firmware bug and one day showed up as an 8mb empty drive. It was a 64gb unit and I was so impressed by the speed, but tired of symlinking directories to the HDD for storage needs I just bumped to 240gb+ models and never looked back.
Currently using a Corsair MP700 Pro drive (gen 5 nvme) in my desktop. Couldn't be happier... Rust and JS projects build crazy fast.
