Sounds like the HDD is probably the problem. What SSD are you getting?

Hey Babababa,
 
Have you checked if you have all the latest OS and driver updates? Have you monitored your temperatures and see if anything is hitting critical values? Is anything hitting 100% usage before the crashes? I would do a complete stress test to check if any of the parts is faulty or not. 
In order to check if the HDDs are the cause of the problem I would recommend using a diagnostic tool provided by the manufacturer of the drives. For WD drives that would be WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=JCn0Pq
