The only spinning discs I use these days are two 22TB drives for network storage and a bunch of backup drives in USB enclosures. All the rest were replaced with NVMEs and SSDs years ago.
Being mobile I am space challenged so I just use old hand me down Laptops. They all have disks except one ASUS which is a hybrid drive hard/SSD. But all my USB drives are SSD. That is the cool thing about Linux, as you know it likes old computers so acquiring give away Laptops is easy. I just keep the disk drives backed up well in case they fail.
Yeah, a poster above dissed SSD’s for failing without warning, but I’ve never had one fail. I HAVE had 3 USB sticks fail, though, since they came out, each on a different machine, and years apart. IIRC, 2 of those 3 became erratic or showed errors B4 failing completely, and 1 of those 2 was a “never heard of it” brand, 1 was a Sandisk, and I forget what brand the other one was.
