There is a lot of power to waste for the savings you made, when not buying expensive SSDs (20€ a year is not much). Where we use HDDs, we don’t care about noise. Durability? We use huge RAID systems with lots of redundancy.
I personally like to swap new drives after 5 years to avoid failures. So when you find a 16 TB SSD for 350€, you send me a message.
With the SSD’s I can afford, there are what you might call “net negative savings” when I save maybe a couple dollars in power a month but have to replace them every few months. We can’t all afford EVO’s.
Power consumption, noise, durability…
