When does an SSD not make even a little sense?
An SSD isn't always the right answer
SSDs are indisputably better than spinning hard drives when it comes to speed, size, efficiency, and even cost. However, these benefits favor SSDs only as long as you're considering a handful of 1TB or 2TB drives in a desktop PC. The moment you consider other use cases where capacity, long-term reliability, write-heavy endurance, and cost at scale matter more than performance, hard drives become the only sensible option. This is why hard drives are still relevant in 2025.
