I have two 905p SSDs for ZFS cache devices. A two-way redundant point of failure, but these devices are way more durable than NAND flash storage.

A different form factor are the NVMe sticks. Given the relatively small capacity, the 118GB NVMe SSDs were not very expensive, and make ideal system drives for server applications.

But brute force seems to have defeated Optane: Intel's enterprise flash NAND SSDs are just super over-provisioned, retaining gobs of spare capacity that result in 8TB devices with one complete drive write per day durability, every day for five years guaranteed.
