Do not use an SSD in a desktop computer unless it is fault tolerant and most are not. You also will want a battery backup to be safe. The problem is that if you lose power, you could lose data and you could corrupt the SSD. That's why they are only really good in a laptop or tablet where there is a battery backup.
