This might be the old curmudgeon coming out in me, but I still find myself leery of SSDs for critical things. I know they’re making them better every day, and with things like wear-leveling they have a theoretical maximum life longer than traditional drives. In the data center -with always-on drives- I’ve noticed that rotating drives fail a little more gracefully than their SSD counterparts. My completely uneducated theory is that once wear leveling space runs out, there’s nothing to do but fail... I do have SSDs in the minis, but I don’t really trust them LOL, and have an external USB conventional drive connected to each for time machine backups, plus I copy all Indigo-related data offsite every hour. Can’t be too careful...
I’ve got some 15 year old drives that still work well (but I do have copies of the data on those, I’m not that crazy), don’t know that I’d be able to say that about an SSD. Maybe so, but the crusty old IT fart in me says Bah humbug!
