Seek times are radically different between rotating drives and SSD. If you're in the habit of scanning your DB every day or zapping playlists on a whim then an SSD could make a difference. If you write/erase a lot on your drives then you can wear an SSD down, although it is every unlikely. Usually the endurance is given in volume of data written to the disk, in Tera or Peta-Bytes. That is, filling the drive and erasing it thousands of times over. Spinning drives do have reliability issues. These days I tend to replace drives every 2 years. A brand is no guarantee. Here is some recent reliability data on spinning drives : https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/ https://www.backblaze.com/hard-drive-test-data.html
