> Not sure why I'm being downvoted for being factually correct

Maybe because your statement about SSDs is incorrect. Consumer SSDs have spare blocks too, and wear leveling prevents the scenario you're describing.

> usb adapter kept getting io problems there too with zfs, drive gets disconnected during scrub or high load

That's usually caused by the adapter chipset overheating. Don't use USB adapters for important data.

USB/SATA adapters are incredibly flaky. Some don't support TRIM, some have major firmware bugs, many overheat during long data transfers and disconnect from the host. I'd strongly advise against using them for any important data.
