Whist SSD drives are excellent system drives, there is some debate as to their longevity with regard to write cycles. Storing your samples on SSD is fine, but it may still be a good idea to have a standard HDD as your recording medium. There are many articles around on this topic. Here's a quick one:

To put that in perspective the Samsung 850 Pro is rated around 6000 P/E cycles. If you write 20 GB a day a 256 GB drive will last 70 years. If you write 100 GB a day a 256 GB drive will last 14 years.

I purchased an SSD as more of a test, to see how long it would last.
I only paid 80.00 for a 220GB PNNY on sale.
ive re formatted it over 10 times copy/paste/deleted.
that was almost 2 years ago. I have yet to see any problems or wear down, im sure someday it will just stop working but the tests I saw 2 years ago, suggest that they don't wear out as fast as one would think and more close to HHD wear out times.
the SSD is just faster to retrieve and load.

If we're talking about wear down, the drive won't just stop working - slowly the drive space will shrink and that let's you know it's time to replace it. If the physical size of the sectors is 4k that means that after 262,144 sectors wear out you'll lose a 1 gig of storage. And you shouldn't lose data, just available space.
