I tried to save some money in the beginning by using consumer drive, but while some lasted long, many failed in a matter of months. These days I only buy enterprise drives, be it for servers or desktop. I don't use SSDs much in servers due to problems that I stated in the last post and some other problems.
Here is a pic of some spare hardware and some new and old disks:

Cool stuff/pix...
I use SSDs on several servers and so far had no problems or failures. They are really good for mysql and other dynamic stuff. They are still expensive when it comes to storing large amounts of data so enterprise HDDs in RAID does the job.
