6TB WD Black (7200RPM spinning rust) is ~$130 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NCMMSQX/ whereas a 4TB SSD is ~$150: https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Performance-Internal-SP004TBSS3A55S25/dp/B0BVLRFFWQ/

So you get slightly better bang for your buck with spinning rust but not much.

The mechanical drive is 70% cheaper per TB than the solid one. Thats more than “slightly better” in my book.

6TB drive really isn’t a fair example, as hard drive sizes increase smaller drives aren’t produced as much if at all. That has an effect of raising the price of the remaining small drives as your customer base becomes people who need that drive like if you have a drive go bad in a raid array and want a matching drive.

So while yes a 6TB 7200 RPM drive is $130, a 12TB 7200RPM drive is also $130.

That Seagate drive you linked to is used. Might as well throw your data away, LOL!

I didn’t notice that, that’s a very valid point. Still 6tb drives aren’t the sweet spot price wise, but my example was bad.
