How do I know an SSD is reliable or not? How do I know it's a consumer SSD or a real SSD? I'm particularly interested in drives which contain firmware that doesn't lie to the operating system about whether crucial operations have completed or whether errors were found. Is there a way to know?

I want to buy equipment that will last at least 10 years. It won't be heavily written but it will be heavily read. To me it feels like SSDs should last a long time for write-once read-many use cases.
