You probably want to look at some of the intel high write endurance SSD's if you're concerned about writes.

For example the intel S4610is rated at 6 PBW (6,000 TB) or roughly 3 DWPD.

Intel P series or optane based products have far higher endurance but cost is a lot higher.

I think PRO drives have many more writes.

The only issue with SSDs is the write endurance, and most of them now have a certain percentage of spare cells to stave that off for a while. They generally won't go toes up all at once, but will lose cells, or blocks of cells at some point. You will get more endurance if you oversize them to minimize cell re-use. If you think you need 1TB, get 2TB, and it will cut cell re-use by 50%.

Way, way faster.

    Any reason not to go with the SSD?
