SSD and RAM
Not everybody, probably not the majority of computer owners- have an SSD Drive. But everybody these days has RAM memory configured.. being that is 512K, 1G, 4G, 8G, or more. Isn't this the same technology that is employed in SSD drives? I tend to think so.
Unless these conventional RAM DIMM memories are blinking out on a regular basis- without our knowing about it- because of data-correction and programmed recovery (resending) schemes... I would venture to say that current SSD Technology is on par with any given DDR2/3 RAM used these days. Which nets out to pretty darn reliable devices, IMO.
ETA: The only caveat I can think of would be what the linked article supposes... power irregularities/glitches. External SSDs using an external power source would likely be more vulnerable.
