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.
