Always makes me laugh when people say HDD is dead.... as a home user, when I can buy solid state storage in the 20TB range for my home server for less than a HDD... I'll consider believing them.

They simply don't make any consumer SSD larger than 8TB and for the SATA SSD side, it's well over ยฃ500 for one of them, meanwhile you can get 20TB HDD for about ยฃ300 here.

Last year the price of a Samsung 870 SSD was ยฃ300, I bought one, they've not been below ยฃ500 since.

    i th]nk for "normal" consumer hdd isn't important anymore.

    for servers it still makes a lot of sense, in many cases.

    iirc a raid can be as fast as a ssd.
