recommending a mechanical hard drive in 2024 is crazy
I mean if you need 14TBs or something you don't really have an alternative unless you're rich, but yea what a terrible AI recommending <2TB spinny drives lmao
yea mass storage is a bit different. might even prefer some spinny bois for their longevity
These days ssds might actually have hdds beat on longevity. Still, affordable mass storage and ssds aren't close to hdd levels yet.
I didn't speak clear. what I meant is longevity in cold storage, unplugged. or do ssds beat then even there?
Heat and pack of power will absolutely kill a SSD eventually, you’re entirely right.
Totally depends on the use case. For data hoarding on a NAS, it's absolutely fine and the sane choice in regards to pricing.
yea for mass storage they still make sense
If you're doing mass storage, you probably want something a bit bigger then 1TiB, though.
maybe just a tad
Yeah, I'm up to 38TB of HDDs so far. Bless Jellyfin and the *arr stack
it's still cheaper and doesn't really matter for like games and stuff.
like you could get a 256gb ssd + 1tb 7200rpm ssd. extra 5 seconds waiting on the loading screen don't really matter that much and most games are actually optimized to run decently from hdds (except recent games that came out after like 2018)
yea its OK for old games, but for big modern games like forza horizon 5, cp2077, they just dont work. I went from 2 min loading time to 15 seconds when I switched from hdd to ssd
