   an increasingly growing collection of "archival" data of things you think will get pulled from the internet. It happens all the time.

     @dave @crunklord420 That's what I did on my last build in 2020. Why not have a fast storage drive too for just a few more bucks?

     @caekislove @crunklord420 For this especially, most people will do just fine with 2TB. I’ve been fine on 1TB and the only real limitation is having to clear out old games after I stop playing them.

     @dave looked at the pricing charts for SSD the other day and they're 2x more expensive than HDDs for the same size. HDD have had a consistent floor price for the past 2 years while SSDs continue to trend down.

     @crunklord420 It’s worth noting that prices are depressed due to an oversupply issue (COVID demand surge has run its course, new CPU/GPU offerings aren’t really a great value proposition, etc.), so it could rebound in a couple quarters, but you’re right that $/byte is getting really close.

     Price floor on spinning rust is around $15/TB, this is only $40/TB, and you get massive performance uplift, massive (%) reduction in power requirements, massive density uplift, etc. At what point do you just go SSD-only?

     $80 for a 2TB NVMe drive, damn these are getting cheap.
