The problem with SSD's is a finite amount of write's and when they fail, they fail big. Also, your pool (the topic of this thread) is most likely not going to send you a ssd.
I'll testify to that had 2 fail in the same day last month
When an HDD fails, it is usually a failure of the read/write heads or the controlling electronics. The data remains and is usually recoverable even if the FAT (file allocation table) is damaged. SSDs are not like this. When they fail, there are no parts one can replace. The data is just gone.
I have my music on 2 TB portable HD's. Those for me work the best. Don't need a lot of room to transport it and not in the way too much in your setup. I got mine at Micro Center in Paterson, NJ for way less than $100. I still have a ton of room to add more music on them.
