Keep an eye on that 60GB if does not have SMART. These old devices die without warning.
When they do, you suddenly have a 16MB unformated drive insted of 60GB - that's for
flashing the firmware to recover your drive :)

Overall I'd say the defect rate differs little from my experience
with rotating rust, so it's worth the improvement in speed to use
them.
It's worth noting that all those you've had fail are brands that don't
have very good reputations in SSDs. Stay away from those and you'll
have a much better failure rate.
