I blame tech journalism like the verge for this failure.

SSD manufacturers are well aware of what their drives should do. But they are also aware that to get sales they need to win benchmarks, and that to do that they cut corners with data integrity.

A benchmark of a drive should involve a heavy workload with a random drive hard and unplanned poweroff every 30 seconds. The drive should never lose a single fsync'ed byte.

The drive should also be put in hot/cold cycling chambers. And in radiation chambers. And journalists should publish which drives meet their obligations despite all the adverse (yet still in spec) conditions they're put through.

I bet no ssd for sale today could survive all 3 tests above for a month and still get okayish performance without data loss.
