SSD drives are FAR more reliable and long lasting than any mechanical magnetic storage hard disc. Hard drives used to be the most mechnical, moving parts component of a computer. MOVING PARTS WEAR OUT over time. ALl hard drives ship with a spec called 'mean time before failure' which is just like miles for use with a tire. They are guaranteed to fail at some point, typically 5 yr mark.
I've read several data centers switching over to all SSD due, to to better performance, less heat, less failure. They cost more, but end up saving the money in the long run in replacement, cooling & electric bill (they use less power)
