We haven't had a SSD failure yet, but that is also why I always propose RAID1 - additional redundancy.
TO abstract the whole issue of drivers and ease the recovery from a hardware failure, our baseline is a RedHat /CentOS Host machine, a virtual instance of the AC server on the RAID1 SSDs, and snap-shot the entire server container onto the host spindle drive (and we recommend to a NAS/other computer on the network).
Absolute worse-case, the host fails hard, you install the host OS on another machine, copy over the backup of the container, and you are back in business, faster than you could install a new Windows OS and patch it.
High-end infrastructure companies now offer all SSD hosting
Performance Servers and once we move to the new version of RedHat Enterprise Virtualization later this year we will offer all SSD instances as well as clustered real-time hardware failover.
If you "Feel the Need for Speed", you will be able to have it soon.
