Only buy HDDs for bulk media storage and backups; never use an HDD as your primary boot drive for Windows. Look for CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) drives over SMR (Shingled) for better write performance. Available from $609.99.
Mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs) are cheap to own, using a few watts of power while spinning. The main hidden cost is cloud backup subscriptions, as HDDs will eventually fail and data recovery is exorbitant.
Common Failure Modes
HDDs consist of spinning platters and delicate read/write heads, making them highly susceptible to physical shock and mechanical wear. When an HDD fails, it is replaced, not repaired, unless expensive data recovery is required.

Mechanical hard drives have moving parts that wear out over time. They typically function reliably for several years before mechanical fatigue sets in.
