Even the current 500gb SSD I've got in there was a splurge, and I couldn't justify spending $400 USD on a single SSD, let alone $500 USD for the two of them. Honestly, the only way this would even matter is if the drive died somewhere in years 4 or 5. Outside that, there's no difference in warranty. While inside that range it might make a bit of a difference, I'd think in 4 or 5 years the prices on SSDs will have dropped so much that I'd likely just want to replace the thing anyway.
That's a good point, really. You used to get 3 year warranties with spinning platter drives and assuming you don't run them 24x7 they would most often last rather longer than this anyway. Of course there were the notable exceptions (Seagate ... ) but those often didn't last the 3 years either.
