I wondered this myself, especially since I splurged on one last Christmas.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't OOTP write a large amount of data to the disk, at least it does if you're doing long-term sims? Sure, we might be able to cite programs that write more (video editors?), but my guess is for the average user doing long-term sims OOTP writes more than most programs.
If someone was wanting to prolong the life of their SSD and had the option of writing to an SSD or not, it might be best to not. I wasn't going to get rid of my SSD and I'm not going to bother hooking up an external to sim OOTP so I just went for it, but for others the choice might be different.
