Just make sure you regularly apply power... Apparently SSDs can start
losing data in as little as three months without power:

Personally that just pushes me further in favor of using ZFS and using HDDs
for the storage drives and using SSDs to accelerate performance. At least
for data I care about.
For a laptop that's regularly backed up, sure, throw in an SSD so that it's
nice and snappy.
