About 5 years ago I needed a Windows box for business. I took an old i5
which had 16G of RAM and added a !T Samsung SSD. It was pricy. I
recalling spending $300 for that SSD. Well worth it. It came with a 5
year warrantee. I expect it might last at least 10 years or more.
SSDs are a lot cheaper now.
All of my boxes run SSD except my wife's computer. It is painful to
boot her computer.

I've used ssd's since they've been around, super speed boost for any
desktop really, but I'd run them typically in raid1, and for the first
few years they'd reliably die, one disk or another around the 6mo
mark. I didn't do trim, as it defeats luks encryption, and often
simply doesn't work otherwise with various filesystem layers (mdraid,
luks, zfs, etc), and well yeah, they all died horrible deaths. Not
since Samsung introduced wear-leveling in their SSD architectures did
the problem mostly go away, and I've begun to use Samsung SSD/M.2
(even sd cards) exclusively for this, and have not lost a disk since.
Not sure how commonly this is used in other vendors, but something if
ever doing raid or other enterprise-y functions, something to look
for.
