I see a lot of people saying SSD are unreliable or have very limited lifespans. This is based on older SSDs and is not true to the same extent anymore. Sure, your HDD will last you longer than the SSD in theory, but realistically you'll probably throw away both before they die (unless you get a defective unit).
The only real drawback to SSD is that it doesn't store as much as HDD, but even so they've come a long way if you're willing to pay the money for them. They just haven't gotten stupid large for stupid cheap, like HDDs have.
The obvious solution, then, is to use a giant HDD for archiving, storing media, and managing documents (non-loadtime-intensive tasks) while using SSD for game, OS, compiling, etc (more time sensitive). If you're feeling ballsy, swap space on SSD is pretty hot, too.
