Can a single SSD replace multiple HDD's?

It is recommended that for low latency Digital Audio Production, you should have multiple HDD's.

Eg. one HDD for the O/S and programs, another one for the audio files and yet another for sample libraries.

My question is, could a single SSD do the job as effectively as multiple HDD's?

Speed wise, yes. Space wise, no. Most people use a SSD for the OS and programs, not for storage due to the cost per GB. Example: For $200 right now, it's either a 128GB SSD or a 2TB hard drive. If I wanted speed, I would get the SSD. If I needed pure storage, the 2TB.
