256TB? That's huge! How about an affordable 8TB SSD though? I ended up going with a HDD as a secondary drive because it was like a quarter of the price of high capacity SSDs.
Have you checked prices lately?
Well, 8TB might still not be cheap, but I bought a few of those Crucial 4TB drives for $165 when B&H had their sale. Trying them out for a Proxmox datastore.
I still use spinning rust for long term storage.
Can’t wait for affordable 16tb SSDs to be available. That’s really the only time I can see myself switch from spinning rust. Also looking forward to the for the power saving benefits too. 10 years maybe ?
