SSD/HDD have different failure characteristics.  The SSD is going to
be way more durable if shocked.  It probably has a lot more endurance
for reads.  On the other hand the HDD has a lot more write endurance.
I suspect that time is going to wear HDDs more than SSDs, but I am not
so confident in that.

SSD write performance and endurance benefit from an SSD-aware
filesystem and all the hardware supporting TRIM.  So, that's another
consideration.

So, you need to be mindful of all of this when you make a choice.
