Upgrading won't get you faster speeds.

This makes sense for most laptop hard drive uses, where people aren't gaming, just storing backups or old files too big/unnecessary for their SSD.
Not a great option for storing Xbox/PlayStation games on and running from - like PS4 or Xbox One.
So imagine needing to look at some old photos, any other mechanical drive is maybe a split second delay, these types of drives it's like waiting 3-5 seconds before they decide to become a hard drive again and you get the files you want to see.
So basically that hard drive is essentially long term storage to me for stuff I don't need too often, and if I need it, I'll transfer it back to my main working SSD drives.

But if you had to have these connected 24/7 for a daily backup, I can imagine that would get annoying from how slow it is
