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 £500 for one of them, meanwhile you can get 20TB HDD for about £300 here.
Last year the price of a Samsung 870 SSD was £300, I bought one, they’ve not been below £500 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.
That’s only because the normal user doesn’t store his own data anymore.
Whether that’s a good thing is a whole different discussion.
