    The "longer lifespan" is a common myth. I replaced two ssds already and my hitachi drive still works

    You are biased af. SSDs are better, but only if you need speed and higher data density. Try affording to make a 30TB+ SSD array without being rich af. But yes, a SSD for frequently used files and the OS is better.

  3. The correct answer is your computer has multiple Ports for a reason. Get both and use a storage pool.

    I do not know where you live, but I have NEVER seen a NVME SSD have the same price as a HD of the same capacity.

    Harddrives are still much cheaper per GB than about any SSD. Also the deterioration is the same for SSDs. SSDs are mostly limited by the number of writes so if you need lots of data storage and you write a lot to it then HDDs might be the way to go. For any regular PC though its SSDs all the way.

    Me who has 128 ssd and 500 hdd and the ssd is still more expensive

    Hdd I would grab for some random things like unimportant files that I just need to keep for easy access and some single player titles that aren’t large in size, then the rest will go on my ssd

    Hard drives are still way cheaper in big quantities 4tb to 8tb can often be half the price than the ssd equivalent option

  13. Atomic Sub

    Above 2tb hdds become a lot cheaper than ssds

    I mean i bought a refurbished 16tb hdd for 200 and i personally can't wait for a 16tb ssd for that price.
