Hi John Yes true that SSD drives have no moving parts so nothing to be warn out over time, but just as with USB flash drives they have a certain amount of read and write cycles. These cycles are getting more and more as the technology advances and will probably eventually outlive other components in a machines life, but for now tasks which reads and writes a lot will significantly shorten the life span of a SSD.
So yes by all means you can track to SSD, but then you must budget to replace it more often than what you would have done if you used HDD.
