You would need to find a SCSI SSD. They are out there, but not a lot of
choices. Here is something to consider: When a SSD fails, the failure is
likely to be catastrophic, with total data loss. HDDs can fail in this way
too, but often give warning that they are failing, allowing much or all of
their data to be recovered. Anyone remember when HP made the "silver back"
drives? They would make tons of noise for weeks, sometimes months, before
they would die.
