The warranty is five years. I won't lose any data, and in two years I'll get a new drive from the manufacturer. I don't expect any reliability, hard drives aren't reliable, this is nothing new.
The Crystal Disk Reports is based on the flash wear patterns, so if it's at 67% it is likely to last 2 more years not six more months. The way I calculated, the drive saved me enough time in the first year to pay for itself.
It cannot be stressed enough that hard drives (of any type) are not reliable. If your storage strategy is predicated on the assumed failure rates of your hard drives then your in for a nasty shock down the road. And as stated proper warranties eliminate most of the short term risk associated with failures.
