i prefer this HDD over an SSD for cold storage where transfer speed does not matter and there is no risk of bit rot. HDD's still have their use case.
Solid state is nowhere near as reliable when it comes to constant reads and writes, as well as for archiving data.
Leave a solid state drive on a shelf without power for as little as a year in some cases and data degradation can happen.
Aside from the fact that mechanical drives still provide the best TB per $/sqin. value, the main reason large data centers still use mechanical and tape is the reliability. Home NAS setups still focus on mechanical drives for the same reason. You don't need 5Gbps sustained reads to stream local 4k content when your network or internet only support a fraction of that and that kind of constant load on a solid state drive would kill it prematurely.
I'm not understanding why there's a growing belief that you can't use both simultaneously when they both serve a valid purpose.

Yup I just bought a 4tb one a couple days ago in the clearance section for around $55. Not sure that I'm going to keep it.
they also had some 1tb ssds for around the same price. Can't remember the brands.

The SSDs were WD Blue SN570 I think for $34 for 500GB and $44 for 1TB which is not bad but also not great considering SN850 and Samsung 970 reach those on sale. For a while Walmart been keeping prices of SSD high enough that I was wondering who would even buy them unless it's "need right away" thing. Now it seems they're trying to lower because they might be not selling much at those prices.

I'm reasonably up to speed with computers and tech, but I had to research bit rot after reading your post. I'm glad I did. Thanks for sharing!
