HDDs are cheaper. Think of all the files you have that really don't need to be on a SSD.

>>60119931

the fuck did you buy that?

>>60116637
The last time I stocked up on storage, I paid $80 for 6TB. So a little more than half the price for six times the storage. When you have a ton of data, HDDs are the way to go. With RAIDZ5 in that server, it easily saturates the client storage, including my NVMe SSD.

>>60116637
My brother's SSD stopped working after only a year's use, and all he had on it was the OS and a few images. Luckily he had enough sense to store the terabytes of important shit on HDD.

I don't give a fuck. There are many games that simply aren't available on physical media. Botnet is a meme, and so are you.

>OS: SSD
>storage/files: HDD

HDDs are still useful, only because of their price. Even a decent laptop of any brand can house an mSATA SSD for boot and a standard 2.5" drive in the SATA bay for storage.

Well when I can get an 10TB SSD (Don't exist yet) (For my server data) without having to rob a bank then I'll consider switching over entirely. Till then (which at this rate will take years) I'll stick with regular hdds. (oh wait, as the years pass hdds will still grow in size while still having price drops, guess that big ssd would be a waste of money after all)

>>60120239
Botnet is a technical term. Search it up.
Not a meme.
Why are you even on here

>>60118301
It's not just the boot times, it also affects the overall responsiveness of your system. If you've got a read/write head doing a fuckton of other shit in the background, responsiveness suffers.

>>60118301

Its not about boot times you retarded brainlet. Its about responsiveness. In a laptop too, its about power consumption and the peace of mind of knowing that if your laptop suffers a fall you don't have to worry about a delicate HDD.

People care more about the amount of data they can save onto their hard disk. As such, the price gap is enough to kill SSDs for most people, when most computers today are fast enough for regular usage anyways.
Most people just get a small SSD to put the OS onto, and use HDD for real stuff, exactly because the only speed they really care about that an SSD could make a (noticeable) difference on, is boot-up time.

>>60124258
>2.6 sec instead of 3

Bit of an exaggeration. Windows 10 shuts down in about 20 seconds and boots up in about 40 seconds off my 7200rpm HDD. The same Windows 10 shuts down in 2 seconds and boots up in 5 seconds off my SSD. Rebooting is trivial with an SSD. Launching Windows 10 from my SSD, I can turn off my pc, cold boot, and get to a desktop before the Windows 10 HDD pc even fully shuts down.

SSD's aren't perfect. Currently they are far too expensive to do anything with other than use them as a boot drive, record 4k video, and a few other specific applications. Ideally, you'd like to have an SSD as your boot drive and a nice beefy HDD as your storage drive. I'd wager you could achieve that by spending no more than a total of $150 on the two drives.

Nice security through obscurity you got going there. Let me know how that works out for you. Rather, don't, because I already know how it works for everyone.

Want real protection for your files? Save them to a hard drive, encrypt the hard drive, airgap it from the internet when not in use, and lock it in a safe when you're not using it.

This gives you technical AND LEGAL protections in the event the powers that be come after you. It won't necessarily save you from the government if they've really got it out for you but you've made it sufficiently difficult that if they want your data, they'd have to break into your house, crack your safe, and break the law enough that even the most corrupt court in the USA won't convict you of anything.

Oh, and make them much more reliable, because TLC crash is a fucking joke right now. Not to mention you lose all your data if your SSD controller dies, which is NOT the case in HDDs.

You can't be banned from Steam itself. You always have access to games you've purchased. Your game inventories can be locked to restrict transferring items, but again, you can personally always access anything you own on Steam.

If you cheat in a game, you're banned from that particular game's multiplayer. Unless it's VAC which will be for all VAC enabled servers.

SSDs probably shouldnt be the standard. Non-rewritable inode tables and whatnot

>>60126994
>You can't be banned from Steam itself.
You mean "there haven't been any publicized cases of Valve banning anyone from Steam." They do, in fact, have the ability to ban you from Steam, and if they did that you wouldn't really have any recourse other than giving them bad publicity.

>not using a SSD for day to day stuff and HDD for the rest

It's like you're too stupid to use the right tool for the right task

>>60126095

Sooo, how do you feel about battery backed DDR? Conflicted in any way?

SSD's have a significant impact on game loading times. But games are also large and putting all of them on an SSD is not always possible. Data does not change much for most people so wear and tear is not really an issue unless you do a lot of things that use the drives a lot. My HDD's usually just get written a few times and data like movie rips remains static so that's not an issue. My main concern with spinning media is failure rates. Mechanical drives tend to die quicker (it used to be an issue with SSD's but not anymore).

Storage size and encryption.

At least last I recall it's not advisable to do whole disk encryption on a SSD because of increased wear load (it will go from 5~ years of writes to 2~ years). Neither drives last forever, just that HDDs are better for storage and often when a failure occurs you get bet some stuff off a HDD before it's completely gone, you can't with SSD.

You can get 5TB of HDD at this price.
Sure the price ratio is getting better, but for large size storage (mostly media), fast access time is basically irrelevant, unless you do editing stuff.
For now, the sane strategy is a SSD for OS/Apps and HDD for the rest.
Literally any cheap ass SSD will do the job btw.
Buying cutting edge tech stuff will only very slightly improve your boot time.

If you don't have a NAS, you're poorfag or an idiot.
If you populate your NAS with only SSDs and not HDDs, you're a richfag idiot.

Best bang/$ config is:
> local system SSD
> NAS with HDDs in RAID5 (or ZFS/whatever equivalent), plus a PCIe/NVMe SSD read cache, plus a health amount of RAM
> splurge for 10GbE, even if it's just a crossover cable for a client workstation or two

You now have can pull data off your local network at over 2x the speed of a local SATA SSD, and even the uncached shit can be pulled off 5+ spindles at faster than SATA SSD rates for linear accesses.

>>60124258
>hdd's have a much much longer life

Are you actually retarded? Hard drives suffer from mechanical failures. That's their top failure mode. And it generally happens within the first 3-5 years. SSDs obviously don't suffer from mechanical failures. I've had the same SSD for more than 8 years and it still works like new.
