I understand thrashing (computer's virtual memory subsystem in a constant state of paging) is basically problem of not enough memory.

But besides adding more RAM, would adding a SSD to a HDD or replacing HDD with a SSD help with thrashing?

Because SSD have no mechanical rotation parts you don't hear anything. Only a HDD indicator would tell you heavy usage.

SSDs are very fast that can provide data from the pagefile very fast without slowdown the system.

If you run of of RAM very often, please add more RAM to avoid unnecessary writes to SSD, so that the SSD can be used longer before the flash modules reach their max number of writes they can handle.
