Wait, I'm using WD Green SSD's in half my stuff. Am I safe?!

    The answer is always "no", regardless of what you have. Follow the 3-2-1 backup rule for anything important.

    As for whether you're sitting on a ticking time bomb, I'm referring to a run of mechanical (IIRC) 1TB drives from around 2010 or so. Quick googling suggests Green SSDs have a slightly higher than average failure rate, but only slightly.
