The claim that an SSD allows for very fast scanning is highly
debatable.
LMS and its database are gonna fit into RAM on many setups. As RAM is
faster than an SSD, the SSD hardly matters. And music collections are
usually not on an SSD, so again the presence of an SSD doesn't make a
difference.
For music streaming there is absolutly no need to go for the SSD
scenario unless indeed like has been said before you want very fast
scanning which I personally do only occasionally. Either I do a search
for new tracks scan or I browse to the folder with new files and LMS
will automatically add on
