A WD gold 8TB is cheaper then the cheapest 4TB piece of crap SSDs on the marked here. I bought 2X 10TB WD gold for mirror raid, if going for SSDs I would need 4X or 6X 4 TB drives and a raid controller, because the main board does not have enough Sata or PCI to run them all and the raid setup and maintenance would be a nightmare if something goes wrong. Even when buying the cheapest available the extra cost for the cheapest SSDs would be the same as a new 7800X3D. Look who is talking about setting money on fire.

It's like arguing with vinyl record fanatics... Even cheaper SSD is 10x-50x (depending on workload scenarios) faster than your HDD clunker. Get with the times.

Well I feel like talking to a wall if walls could insult you. I can sustain 200MB/s for 5 TB written, good enough for 2Gbit cabled lan, swapping to SSDs will give me very little benefit other then noise and power usage, but doubles the price and complexity. I am not even able to install 4 drives in my PCs anyway. My main desktop halves PCI slot 1 speed when PCI slot 2 is used and slot 3 is only 4X, so locked to using slow SATA. Mediacenter is 4 SATA but 1 is already used for Bluray drive and a PCI for 4 M.2 drives is to large for the case. A new AM5 B650E mainboard I am looking at barely supports 4 drives and OS disk if a PCI to 2X M.2 slots are used, but then locked to PCI 3 speeds. Intel is really not any better with PCI slots. 6 drives to match the 10TB capacity I have, is very tricky for regular mainboards, so many of them disable slots or makes the setup asymmetrical in speeds. It is more or less needed to draw a drawing with the PCI limits/rules for every mainboard you are interested in, to see if the mainboard even supports 6 drives plus a OS drive and a GPU at the same time. Atleast a Vinyl just like a dumb SATA HDD just works, compared to more then 8TB of SSD storage with mirror raid.

I think that by now he's just trolling. Nobody in their right mind is going to pay 2.000 € for four 8 TB non-NAS-ready SSD to put them in a home NAS just because it's more silent than 700 € NAS-ready HDD. It makes no financial nor practical sense. (And nope, those SSD drives won't work faster on my 1 Gbps NAS than my current HDD+SSD cache setup). Whenever large SSD start costing like large HDD, that'll be something to take into consideration, but now... no way José.
