SSDs are much faster, but they do not last forever..... Look at the warranties they come with, these are typically 3, 5 or 10 years. If you want one that will last 'forever', go for one with a 10 year warranty, such as a Samsung 850 Pro.
Watch and decide for yourself (i just basically did a youtube search of the terms "hdd vs ssd gaming/photoshop/autocad/video editing/etc"

Yes, some of the vids are dated, and yes, most of the vids are loading times.. not gameplays. Some of the time savings is just a few seconds for gaming to tens of seconds in the rendering/vid edits. They dont last forever lol..
If I were to buy an SSD, i'd buy a ~120gb just for the OS and a couple of game/productivity installs then store my other stuff in the large drives. For me the prices of the ~120gb SSDs are in the sweet spot right now.
