SSD or HDD

The speed of SSD over traditional platter hard drives is just amazing.

I would use SSD for pretty much everything now if I could afford it.

It still makes sense to me to store huge files and backups on traditional hard drives due to the price point per GB.
 
Yes I think that as the size increases and the price of SSD's decreases then it is possible that mechanical HDD will become obsolete.

Platter / Mechanical hard drives are definitely going to become obsolete! Same as the tape drives.

Actually Tape drives are here to stay for their insanity cheap per GB pricing of long term cold storage. Plus since they don't spin up 24/7 they are probably the last to fail as well. So unless SSDs beat them at both departments, I don't think they are hitting the fans just yet.
 
SSD (Solid State Drive) is generally faster and more reliable than HDD (Hard Disk Drive). While HDDs have higher storage capacity and are typically less expensive than SSDs, SSDs provide a better performance, faster read/write speeds, and are less prone to mechanical failure. Ultimately, the choice between SSD and HDD depends on your needs and budget. If you need fast and reliable storage and can afford the higher cost, SSD is the way to go. If you need high storage capacity at a lower cost, HDD may be a better option.
