Comment on Best external SSD for high-uptime use?

  Fair enough. Cheap is relative, price-per-GB is still cheaper for spinning rust and where exactly to draw the line is entirely personal.

    Value wise I’d say 2tb is the sweet spot, at least looking at the prices around here.

    $48 / 2TB HDD $82 / 2TB NVMe SSD

    yes it is almost double, but the ssd is most likely gonna last longer, suck up less electricity and is muuuuch faster to boot

    so at least long-term, it might actually be cheaper
