So did I, at great expense. Then the SSD failed about six months later.

Good general warning there -- if you're using an SSD, make sure your
backups are current. Unlike a typical old-fashioned hard drive
failure, you get no warning when an SSD fails and you will lose
everything irrevocably, instantly. And they do still fail relatively
often.
