Is SSD reliable enough to edit off of and use HDD for long term back?

I heard some rumors that Solid State Drives get worn down by video editing. Though like many tech rumors I don't think is true (remember back when people were scared about magnetic screw drivers, yet would touch a processor barehanded). I was thinking about doing SSD as my main harddrive on the next computer I get because their size is getting better and If I can get a 300+ gig SSD it'd be about as big as my current HDD in my current computer. I would probably have 2 HDD's for back up storage but I want a SSD for the speed (your computer is only as fast as it's storage)
