I've had a SSD fail on a new laptop. When they die, they die fast, and you will not be recovering anything from it when it gives up the ghost since the disk controller encrypts everything.

At home, I have a Synology NAS which I use Veeam Endpoint (the free version) to back up to. The NAS also copies all the data to an external drive, and to Amazon Drive (since it offers unlimited storage.)
