SSD are fine for booting, but they don't like a lot of reading and re-writing. Example, never allow OS or Apps to use them for temp files or swap files.

I have multiple pc's that have nothing but SSD's and have not had an issue.

Reading isn't what hurts an SSD, writing is. Reading from them doesn't degrade them.

I put my render cow into hibernate all the time, and that SSD is about 4 years old. If you go into it and look at the write history, I have about 50 years left based on what Samsung says it will survive write wise. The average SSD will survive for years now, and probably outlast most HDD's. I have had more hard drives fail than SSD's. Most SSD's will survive writing about 80gig a day for the duration of the warranty. If you write less that than, and I am sure you do. It will last a long time.
