I don't think so that in 3-5 years HDDs will be obsolete, IMO the price difference won't be in respectively competitive range 'till 9-10 years from now. Sure we can't even imagine when SSDs' price would be same per GB as nowdays for HDDs but still available space is a critical factor so far for most PC users. Today is cheaper to have 2 big HDDs raid-0 AND a big(ger) for backing up them than one big ssd.

Well we had lots of fun with hdd-s all those years especially older people like me 😉, but reality is that in 3-5 years they will be obsolete tech, but that's called advancement in technology same analogy as CRT>LCD & HDD>SSD..

SSD tech and price have a long way to go before HDD is obsolete. You don't seem that old because you don't know how long it took for HDD to be at this price/GB point. Maybe in 20 years, when something better than SSD is invented, HDD will be obsolete. Until then, if you want performance go SSD and if you need storage go HDD.

I agree.

That's a lot of data to be lost in one place. Better get two of these and put them in mirror 😀

I bought my 960 pro 1tb nvme to watch my porn videos. They load a lot faster so I can get to the action quicker.

Just 1tb would never cut it for me though... 🙁
