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 $329.
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.
