I know you're not asking me, but if i may express my personal reason:
Put simply: better safe than sorry.
A choice i mafde after reading a lot about corrupt SSD. But frankly
speaking, i have no idea how accurate this is today.
Unlike spinning disks, where only a problem with the platter will truly
make the data unrecoverable, when an SSD goes south, it's toast.
I have my OS on 2 mirrored SSDs, record to a filesystem on a single SSD
but back that up to a mirrored pair of spinning 2TB drives nightly. The
more important the data stored, the less I trust any single component in
the system.
