SSD Type Drives Better?

SSD drive is acoustically silent, might take less power, might be electrically quiet. Also your rip might be different, unless you copied it from the other drive. Drive contains data (files) with no timing, that go thru the output buffers (memory) before getting to computer motherboard.

My understanding is that using them to put data on and off for listening sessions is not a good idea. They have very high failure rates when used like that and they may last 6 months if lucky. The life expediency on SSD drives is only about 2 years under normal wear and tear. I use one as my main boot drive but not for storage of any kind where data would change often.

Hevac, I have SSD in Macbook Air. It is perfect and Apple products are very reliable. The only limitation is amount of writes to each sector that is resolved by controller that shuffles the sectors to extend life. For typical use I might expire earlier. Everything fails eventually, but SSD at least doesn't have moving parts. For music server application it is perfect - a lot of reads, few writes.

I had Kingston SSDs in a laptop and a desktop that both died in less than a year. Any particular brands to recommend that are reliable?
But once used in a system, it is hard to go back to disk type. They're much faster in every aspect.
