My knowledge on the hardware side is rather limited. Just take into account that Nominatim is doing quite a bit of writing when in minutely update mode and that you will need to start from scratch if the data on the SSD is lost.
Our server is using Crucial RealSSD C300 drives, which I think are at the enterprise end of the market.
Each is currently showing 8% of write capacity used after something like 15 months of active use. I'm not sure if they were used somewhere else before though as they are showing just under 20,000 hours powered on (about 2 years 3 months) but we've only had our Nominatim server up and running again since early last year.
