Unless you are away on important business trip and you loose your system just minutes before the meeting. Yes, it can happen to regular HDD, it's much lesser probability for now.
If I'm going to a meeting where I've got documents I need, they'll be on the laptop, on a USB stick, and probably on a network accessible store as well.
I doubt an SSD is likely to be the least reliable part of a laptop.
I knew someone will use that. But I am not talking about documents, but the system for example with let say architect design app, or demo version of developers new application with set database server and who knows what.
I know people that are unwilling to pay for good antivirus (MS Win naturally) because "it is easier/faster to just reinstall it, you only need 30-60 minutes" but they do not even think about how much time takes to configure ones environment, especially in business. I have several customers that don't even know their own passwords for e-mail accounts, and they expect me to know them, and to have their PC "just running".
So having SSD in laptop (if they are unreliable) is not much of an option, unless I am going to carry duplicate HDD/SSD just in case this one crashes.
