And here I am wasting my money on 24 TB obsolete HDDs when I could have just bought SSDs.
All the kids are using "the cloud" these days. Which is just a fancy proprietary server somewhere with spinning drives.
The youngest seem to be on board with a full cloud OS.
To me "the cloud" just mean you dont own your own product, not to mention the privacy issues. Spinning local HDD for me any day.
The cloud = Monthly Subscription
Relevant XKCD :

SSDs are getting more economical, particularly in the quantities cloud providers buy them in. Wear leveling is getting much better, they are more power efficient, and they have no moving parts to break. It won't surprise me if a lot of cloud storage is on SSDs, and we might not have spinning rust at all in a few years.
We've got servers rolling off the lines at work using 24 22TB drives, that extend 22, 22TB drives if I remember correctly. You know incase you need a petabyte. Side by side on the rack. Those all are HDD's with sata connectors.
Hey I still use them they are great for a media server.
...for 5x the money
