All of the servers I manage except for a few legacy ones are SSDs by now, for the simple reason that they are cheaper to operate at this point:
They consume less energy, and while their price per GB is high, their IOPS per GB is high enough that we can get away with far fewer replicas of each item of data and still get good enough performance.
I can't afford not to use SSDs in every new server we provision.
Not using SSDs in your servers today means you're behind the curve except in certain niches where performance doesn't matter but sheer storage volume does. That too is set to change within the next couple of years with current rates of cost reductions.
