my experiences, and those of many of my friends are the same as smitt's
seems to depend entirely on usage patterns
tried a few setups of regular drives and ssds, taking the most IO demanding tasks away from the ssds, but then most of the benefits of the ssd were lost in such cases anyway
work pretty well in a casual use laptop etc. with less risk of damage due to being dropped tho.
