I suspect that the electronic nature of the SSDs might make them more
prone to a failure due to usage patterns, as opposed to a mechanical
drive where the failures might be more random. If you mirror a pair of
SSDs, you're applying the same usage to both of them, and they might
be prone to both fail at the same time.

What if you mirrored an SSD with a rotating disk? Yeah, writes would
be at the rotating disk speed, but reads should benefit. And when that
SSD wears out because it hits n writes, you still have the rotating
disk to keep you running. Or is that just a mad idea?
