I can give you an update on my install. Faultless two months later.

One thing I have noticed however is that I suspect that the superfast boot up time is due the SSD not going into sleep mode. I say this as I recently did a lot of work on my car that involved power drain from the battery. The battery got below a certain limit and the car shut everything down. I had to reset the time when I started the car and noticed that the satnav boot up was quite slow. Once the battery was topped up the boot up speed went back to being superfast.

If I am correct and the SSD is not going into sleep mode the battery drain would be negligible so it is nothing to worry about but boot up time is more to do with the lack of a sleep mode rather than the SSD.

The main benefit for me (other than the fast boot up) is the greatly improved time it takes to zoom in or out of the map.
