    That’s not been true for a long time.

    Especially for a private home server, SSDs run quieter, cooler, and are more compact.

    Still more expensive than spinning rust though.

      Oh, I don’t argue about loudness, cooling or size. For me the defining factor of a good long term storage is reliability, and I have read somewhere you cannot store an SSD unpowered over long periods of time or you’ll get data loss. Again probably not a factor for this system as you just keep it powered then.
