I mean if you need 14TBs or something you don't really have an alternative unless you're rich, but yea what a terrible AI recommending <2TB spinny drives lmao

Totally depends on the use case. For data hoarding on a NAS, it's absolutely fine and the sane choice in regards to pricing.

it's still cheaper and doesn't really matter for like games and stuff.
like you could get a 256gb ssd + 1tb 7200rpm ssd. extra 5 seconds waiting on the loading screen don't really matter that much and most games are actually optimized to run decently from hdds (except recent games that came out after like 2018)
