However, two drives -- the Samsung and Kingston models -- have both written two petabytes worth of data and are still going. Given that a typical user might write a couple of terabytes of data a year on an SSD, that adds up to a thousand or so years based just on usage (the actual parts would disintegrate long before that, of course).
Ok, so not exactly a scientific study but does look promising.

Many factors could apply.

over the past few weeks they stress test them with ANVIL utilities and so far all 5 have passed 100TB of data without failing

However, few data centers will experience rocket liftoffs or sub-freezing temperatures, and SSDs have their own unique stress points and failures. Solid state architecture avoids the same type of hardware failures as the hard drive: there are no heads to misalign or spindles to wear out. But SSDs still have physical components that fail such as transistors and capacitors. Firmware fails too, and wayward electrons can cause real problems. And in the case of a DRAM SSD, the capacitors will quickly fail in a power loss. Unless IT has taken steps to protect stored data, that data is gone.
Wear and tear over time also enters the picture. As an SSD ages its performance slows. The processor must read, modify, erase and write increasing amounts of data. Eventually memory cells wear out. Cheaper consumer TLC is generally relegated to consumer devices and may wear out more quickly because it stores more data on a reduced area. (Thus goes the theory; studies do not always bear it out.)

So it may be a bit early to quote a 1000 years.
