I don't need to keep a ton of movies and shows, but I do need to double-back-up my work. I lost two HDDs in the past and I now always back up "online". At first it was Google, but now I have a NAS with a primary SSD and a backup SSD. I will never buy a HDD again.
The thing with hdds is that when they fail, if you check regularly, you can recover a lot of your data if not all the data from it.
When an ssd fails, it’s all gone instantly.
I still rely on hdd for long term storage.
Additionally hdds are better for backups that are not regularly connected. The ssd can lose charge over time and data can be lost.
With that being said, I also have important work data and it is duplicated on multiple types of drives in multiple places.
Maybe. But since I store all my work on my NAS and none of it on my PC and laptop anymore, I prefer the speeds of SSD and the automatic backup from storage SSD to second SSD that I do. My desktop and laptop SSDs are only used for the OS, software, and installed games now.
If you can afford it, go for it, but having HDD fail isn't a great reason to never buy HDDs again (SSDs fail too).
RAID is a way of pooling multiple HDDs so that even if one fails, you can still access your data.
Im also trying to stick with SSDs, but many of them died. Backup is needed for both
