Take some time to read reviews and complaint forums before making the purchase. I've scanned a few of these and was convinced that I didn't have enough information to make a "buy" decision yet. There are some good ones and some very bad ones right now.

SSDs still have a limited cycle life and the memory requires maintenance, i.e. moving things around and refresh. For the money, you just can't beat the volume and stability of a HDD. And they have not even released to the public things like SMR, BPM or HAMR. These are game changers when it comes to volume and stability. They will be around for a long, long time.
