While *I* have only had two drive failures, I designed a box to sanitize and characterize disks for reuse. One of the things it does is monitor performance of the drive *while* exercising and sanitizing it to determine if "reuse" is realistic.
Lots of disks from businesses see oodles of PoHs!

This SSD became unbootable but was basically readable externally after the crash. The data from the logs was not there though.
So I put Ubuntu Linux on it and it worked but I had a problem with that Linux crashing a day later. Assumed the crash was the problem. Maybe I will take it apart to look inside now. It's only 256 GB anyway
