i have tried researching this on Google and really came up with nothing useful. i believe this is mainly due to that HD Drives are so much more popular/cheaper, and that SSD's have not been tested by a large number of people. (the general public)

i have read they can last 'a good 20 years' but i would not buy into that even in the slightest. That aside, i read 5 years, so that might be it as well.

That would mean the lifespans of both are about the same, it is just that an SSD is much more expensive, but for a HUGE performance boost in both Reading and Writing Data.

HDD Lifespan:

-At least 3 years

-At most 5 years

SSD Lifespan:

-At least 3 years (guessing)

-At most 5 years (expected, but unconfirmed)

And, then here is another persons answer below.

"No moving parts - no heat so less wear - " green " as low energy requirement. - to drop in price as demand increases"
