No, I wouldn't get 1TB SSD too expensive but something like 300GB I might
consider it.
Are they worth the investment? What brand do you have and how long?

How about SSD they are not that much more? Will it withstand Gentoo
compilations :-) ?
No. There is not a pattern. Two guys used drives for 5 years and then
they failed.
5 years? Wow. That's double what you can reasonably expect, you got good
service.
SSDs are much more expensive than spinning disks, 1TB will cost a
fortune. But they work in Gentoo very well - I'm on my second and this
one is 256G, still runs as fast as the day I got it.

Interesting ... mine also failed catastrophically a couple of months
ago after
around 5 years of continuous use.
Which reminds me to run a backup on my Seagate:
Model Family: Seagate Momentus 7200.4
Device Model: ST9500420ASG
I'm not sure how much anecdotal reports on reliable drives actually hold
water, unless we're talking about an epidemic of failures like I seem to
recall Dell's Seagate drives experienced a few years ago.
