There are a few things you need to know about SSD. First, they are sensitive to electro-statics. That does not mean that they are so sensitive that they are doomed to failure. What it does mean is that a failing PSU 'could' cause them to fail. The signs of a failing PSU are still the same, audio anomalies, followed by data loss, followed by hardware failures, followed by catastrophic system damage (not always all of them but sometimes all at once). Even a HDD will experience data loss as a PSU begins to fail, however it can mean a total failure of an SSD. By total I mean no recovery is possible, at all. So, if you are aware of the quality of your PSU, then you are in a better position to judge the likelihood of a system loss, or not.
SSDs are fast, but only the first time a program loads, which also concerns map loads in some games. Aces High is not one of those games. It could be a really bad idea to run AH2, or AH3 off of an SSD (this from Skuzzy I believe). For the same price of an adequately sized SSD you can buy a really, really nice HDD with much greater capacity.
Having said that I will admit that I use an SSD for my boot drive. I use Seasonic PSUs, so I think I can get away with it for a few years (up to ten) without worry. I install all of my programs to HDDs. I relocate Windows libraries like My Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, etc. to a Libraries HDD (I use the new Helium drives from HGST). I have the larger Steam games on a second SSD of much larger capacity. I install AH2, and AH3 to their own separate HDDs. Each HDD backs up to its own private destination once each week (different days).
Using Macrium Reflect I can restore any drive in an hour, or the OS in thirty minutes.
It may not be affordable for everyone, but this is optimum for me.
EDIT (2nd paragraph): Meant to say only the first time a program load does it have a real advantage over a HDD.
