Yep. JF Mezei stated the reason he wanted to know if an SSD was going to
fail ahead of time was so he could "be lazy" about backing up his data.
That's definitely *not* a solid backup plan. If he were instead to use a
good backup plan where his data would be constantly backed up, he'd be
sufficiently prepared for failure regardless of when it happened. At that
point there would be little need for advanced warning of failures.
