Dear Rivits (again)
2.5" drives do tend to be more life sensitive in terms of operating temperatures. There are statistically valid studies out there.
You may consider buying a Laptop capable of accommodating both a SSD and a HDD. Off hand I cannot think of one but I did own an Ailenware Laptop that had this capability.
OK modern SSD do have lots of what is referred to as Over-provisioning. In other words The physical write/read capacity of the SSD is a lot more than its data holding capacity. (the same applies to Magnetic media too but SSD's are by their physics different.
The specialist Tech web pages contain the required Info.
To conclude from a professional data storage perspective, if you are going SSD, make systematic regular copies of your critical data and make systematic regular image backups so that using the methods previously noted.
The problem being SSD's do fail and without warning.
