Dumb question. Why should someone ever buy a HDD nowadays?

16TB 7200 RPM the same price as a 2TB NVME.

Do you want 2TB super fast or 16TB that still can transfer at decent speeds?

The answer is yes.

This will blow your mind, but datacenters still buy tapes. It's just stupid cheap. In the future, chemical storage by DNA or something similar might play the same role for cold storage.
