If the system with the disks 'aging' is going to be used for archival storage I think you'd still be better off with rotating disks. SSDs have a limited number of read/write cycles, whereas rotating disks have "more."
Are the SSDs the kind that have to have power applied or they lose their memory?

Were I to replace drives, I would be more inclined to go for compatible SSDs.
That is a fantasy though. These guys don't want to spend money right now.
