Don't know about audio work, but last holiday season, my wife and I replaced our laptop HDDs with Samsung EVO 850 SSDs. They were on sale at the time, I think we paid ~US$120 each for 512GB drives.
I found some advice on the web re setting the "trim" function for the drives to help them live longer.
But they're blazingly fast compared to HDDs. Debian on my i7/16GB RAM laptop comes up to login screen in about 20 seconds. (I don't use suspend to disk or hibernate.)
I can't imagine them getting in the way of audio performance.
