Actually the life span of an SSD is directly related to it's usage. It has a limited number of write cycles. If you do lots of writes, it will actually run out faster. However, latest tests seem to indicate that modern SSDs (with the Samsung 840 Pro still being a top performer) should last a lifetime, provided you don't write hundreds of GBs to it every day :-)
If you need 1GB for your music though, I AM worried about your collection size, especially if it's all MP3.
I am in the process of further downsizing my collection in MP3 to below32GB, so it will fit on my iDevices and a 32GB memory stick.
I might go FLAC for my regular laptop, but even then I should be good with under 128GB. I have a 256GB, so no problem there.
My requests collection I keep on a seperate external HD. Still under 350GB. If I upgrade to a 512 (waiting to see if I'll upgrade my MacBook Pro by getting a younger one first), I could have both my core collection in FLAC and my request collection in MP3 all on one reasonably priced (as opposed to the 1TB versions) SSD.
As for reasons, no moving parts is good. While modern HDDs have more safety features built-in, if the disk IS actually spinning with the heads in use, any serious shock could possible crash your disk (won't be the first time I had someone crash his HD while walking around with his running laptop and bouncing it on the door frame). Same as some drunk guest would slam into your DJ booth (had that happen more than once too LOL) and shake your laptop in the proces. No chance of that happening with an SSD.
Temperature. HDD under full strain CAN get pretty hot. Combined with a laptop running full steam doing DJ work (CPU load CAN go up significantly when doing heavy keylock, FX and such all at once), this can lead to faster temperature related problems in laptops. SSDs tend to stay a lot cooler under load.
No noise is another one. 100% silent operation.
System (OS) performance (especially shutdown/reboot/startup) is significantly faster.
So, all in all I'd say putting an SSD in your laptop (or desktop for that matter) is probably the best investment in upgrade you can do and one with the highest return in investment.
small typo corrected 
its nuts . but good to know tho
