If you are running pCP as a player only then simply cutting the power should not cause a problem because pCP runs everything in memory and only writes out to storage when you ask it to (e.g. making a configuration change). However, it is unlikely that you would be using SSD in that configuration ... so presumably your question is about a pCP running LMS. In that case - simply cutting the power is generally not a good idea because LMS does write things out to storage more frequently as part of its normal operation.
I don't know if your SSD requires formal dismounting to keep it safe even when apparently idle. For example, it might be doing its own internal housekeeping when you pull the plug. I read ( https://superuser.com/questions/1155059/is-it-okay-if-i-just-turn-off-power-if-i-have-a-ssd ) that some SSD have capacitors to help them close down gracefully.
