What causes SSD drives to fail?

121 views

I remember when SSD drives came out and they were touted as a much more reliable storage medium than traditional disk drives because they didn’t have whirling mechanical parts inside. However my friend has a 5 year old computer with an SSD drive that has recently failed. What causes this if there are no moving parts inside?

Usually if the whole drive dies suddenly it’s because the controller on the drive has had a failure rather than the memory itself. Could be the onboard cpu has gone bad.
