Being in IT I’ve been using SSD for years in everything (including the PS4). Much better than hard drives, data streaming is around 9x quicker, little heat, no moving parts, very reliable.

Why wouldn’t you? Well, SSDs are essentially like millions of light switches. If a failure occurs then recovery is exceptionally unlikely as ‘off’ is ‘off’, whereas HDDs tend to fail gradually on the whole, and leave a magnetic footprint of data which can relatively easily recovered.

Saying that, a Crucial or Samsung (I favour Samsung) SSD hardly ever fails. I use either in all the SSD upgrades I do on Macs.

Whatever you do, make sure you have at least two backups. That’s a good rule for all computer systems. I’ve seen clients lose their businesses due to lost data, because they didn’t have a backup in place.
