Is it worth replacing a HDD with a SSD for games with constant updates? - Lemmy NSFW

So my HDD (1TB) where I kept my pc games (Battlenet, Steam, Minecraft and such) seems to be corrupt or something (CHKDSK doesn’t bring up any problem but games or launchers sometimes won’t open or load too slow until I reinstall/verify them; I already formated it but nothing changed) so I am being forced to replace it and I am tempted to buy a SSD, but before I do I have a couple of questions: -How worth it will it be in the long term? Since it’s for some games that will get updates constantly-ish (Like Overwatch, Terraria, Deep Rock Galactic, their own launchers, mods and others) I fear it dying sooner than expected (way before the expected 15 years mark). -How cheap could I go? I was thinking about a NS100 [https://www.amazon.com.mx/Lexar%C2%AE-NS100-Unidad-Estado-s%C3%B3lido/dp/B07XH57DDX], a CS900 [https://www.amazon.com.mx/PNY-CS900-Disco-interno-SSD7CS900-120-RB/dp/B07Y5VDNT9] or a WD Green [https://www.amazon.com.mx/Western-Digital-WDS100T3G0A-Disco-Interno/dp/B09JQMGHDW] (no ADATA because their SSD have failed me previously). -What brands/models are decent/acceptable if I have to keep looking for alternatives? If it’s not a good idea I’ll just get a new HDD, but I’d like to know before I decide anything.

Yes, I have not had any game installed on a HDD for many years now. And you’ll most likely get a new SSD in say 5-7 years anyway…
I hope you mean due to unoptimized AAA games and not due to hardware failure, I really can’t be replacing disks as if it was nothing so if it’s due to failure I rather stick to HDD for a longer while
Honestly I’ve yet to have a SSD fail on me and I’ve been using some for 10 years now. Newer ones are even more reliable.
It happened to me with one ADATA the last year and it died within months of use so I blame it more on faulty components than it being SSD
Yeah that sounds like a bath tub curve failure. Better early than late
