I see your point except the fact that mechanical drives die often today as well.
And the time an SSD user saved on having things load so much quicker is like having green light all the way to work.
Have backup, no excuses, and it doesn't matter if it crashes.
Then get a SSD, and throw away the old mechanical drives except for pure storage.
If u havnt tried SSD yet, u have no idea what u are missing. Hell even gen 1 and 2 are slow as hell compared to gen 3 and 4. Personally Ive had SSD since it was Mtron SLC 32GB Drives (witch still works great in my server as OS drive). And even if the mechanical drives have gotten much better, its night and day vs todays SSDs. The fastest random read I have seen mechanical drives do (WD raptor) is around 500 IOPS, and even simple USB drives today can match that, better ones even surpass it. SSDs have 5-10k IOPS. Its the difference between waiting for windows, programs and games to load, or just start playing in a fraction of the time.
4:th and 3:rd generation SSDs are more reliable then simple 2,5" mechanical drives these days, and instead of developing bad sectors and dying after 1-2 year in a laptop, a proper SSD will last the entire laptops lifetime.
