Yes, it would be fine.

Cost is clearly an issue, with TB hard discs being so cheap c/f SSD, but

The only reason I can see for considering one is to make a combined FE/BE
silent. Whether that's worth the extra cost depends on your sensitivity to
noise from the drive.

I have a SSDs in my main desktop and the machine I use at work. I wouldn't
buy another desktop machine without one, but I'm not so convinced of the
value for a 24/7 server that has sufficient ram.

Cheers,
