Iirc solid-state SCSI drives existed.

They did, and they still exist. They tend to be industrial grade stuff,
however and also tend to be silly expensive.

Yeah.

It's unfortunate, really. :(]

Yeah. :(

Sounds like a business opportunity, basically build an enclosure, get 5-6 consumer SSDs, RAID6 them, expose a SCSI/SAS/eSATA interface to the host. If one of the drives breaks/runs out of write cycles, the box indicates the slot and we provide a new SSD for the slot.
