So did I, at great expense.  Then the SSD failed about six months later.

Good general warning there -- if you're using an SSD, make sure your
backups are current.  Unlike a typical old-fashioned hard drive
failure, you get no warning when an SSD fails and you will lose
everything irrevocably, instantly.  And they do still fail relatively
often.
