I have no idea what you're doing to those poor drives then. :)  My main 
machine has been booting from a 500GB SSD without issue for the last ~4 
years.  I've got other drives of smaller sizes in service for longer, also 
without issue.  I use either Windows 7 or Windows 10 Ent. on those.

I've got 1TB Samsung T3 (external USB3, 1TB) that I've been running for 
the last ~2+ years without fail and it hosts VMWare Workstation images 
that I use on a daily basis for software development.
