I’m not sure who needs to hear this but, you don’t need to have an SSD drive for you #bitcoin node. A standard HHD will do just fine. Bitcoin is bulky and slow an does not require a speedy storage drive.
Maybe an SSD can help speed up the download process but that is more limited by your bandwidth than your hard drive I think.
So save your money and get more TB for less $ when it comes to your node, I say.

SSD speeds up verification. But if you want to build an expanded index, like blockstream/mempool electrs, then you'll want something faster. I waited days to discover that 2TB was not enough.
