Hello all,
Finding myself at a crossroad.
Need to transfer my home files to a new zpool with bigger drives but not sure if I should get smaller but more cost-effective HDD and wait for SSD prices to drop in the next 5 years or so, OR should I get bigger and costlier HDD for future-proofing.
Don't really need the SSD speed since I have mostly typical home PC files such as music, videos, and photos in a single PC non-NAS environment. I do enjoy the quiet nature of SSD but not willing to shell out more cash for that alone.
Are there any big advantages or disadvantages to SSD zpools that I should consider for my home PC?
