We've had 3 SSD failures out of 5 SSDs, and 0 magnetic failures out of 8 magnetic drives in our office over the last 2 years. We definitely keep only OS, programs, and VMs on SSDs.

- barrkel 14y agoI've had 3 failures out of 8 HDDs and 0 out of 2 SSDs (Intel X25M and Samsung 830) in the same period. At this point I would recommend buying SSDs that have proven track records; don't buy cheapest on the basis that any SSD is better than any HDD.
