recently my SSD disk died :-( mprime was running on it. data recovery impossible... is prime work lost forever? should i unreserve the exponents manually or let the server do it itself?

i now got another SSD but I run prime on a HDD. how would you comment on running prime on an SSD and an HDD? what's better? i want to avoid writing too much on the SSD as it's also the swap area..
