For many years I used a late 2012 Mini Mac with an internal 1TB hard drive. A few weeks ago the HD died. I'm back-up crazy so nothing lost. I have a NAS which was used for streaming movies and back-up's for multiple computers. I re-tasked the NAS for music playback. The NAS uses standard hard drives, not SSD. I have been streaming from the NAS for about a week and have not notice any change at all.
