Lack of hardware quality Sophos XG appliance, esp. SSD / HD

He there,
yesterday, we had the third hardware failure in three years with a defective SSD on a Sophos XG 230 v2.
And when i look at the forum here, i am not alone.

This is now only "one" example of another concerned.

I just wonder why so many SSDs fail in a short time, lack of quality (no enterprise SSD for a firewall) or are terra bytes of data written here (MTBF).
Maybe there is also a problem with the TRIM command?

I don't have to explain the hassle and stress of such an unnecessary outage to anyone.
Also an unnecessary downtime that costs "effective" money.
There is on the part of Sophos the recommendation that you should form a HA cluster.
Stupidly, if even here cyclically short and unpredictable times the systems also fail with a defective SSD.

Can anyone from the Sophos officials here on the forum, explain why so many SSD for an "Enteprise Firewall" go defective.

I expect better hardware than previously delivered, especially from a firewall that is considered system-relevant. 

This is meant to be considered as contructive criticism.
