Yeah heftier price and that’s about it. An SSD is faster, cooler, quieter (as in dead silent) and more reliable with no moving parts. Yes they do have limited writes, but it’ll take years and years of daily writing in the gigs to even come close to the threshold, and even then you can still continue to write on them. They’ll outlast any HDD.

I really see no cons except for the price.
