Best hard drive option

The best hard drive option for a computer depends on the user's needs. For those who require more storage space, a larger capacity hard drive is usually the best option. For those who need faster access times, an SSD (Solid State Drive) is usually the best option. For those who need a balance of both, a hybrid drive (a combination of an HDD and SSD) is usually the best option.

That's a bold statement.

For sadists, using taper punch tape reels, loading Windows 11.

Do they even make those anymore?

I thought they'd been discontinued as well but apparently Seagate are still selling them, or at least the last of their stock anyway... doesn't seem to be any reference on their website anymore.

They're pretty weak offerings whatever way you look at it though... 4TB with 8GB nand flash (ssd part...).

I wouldn't be going out of my way for a sshd that's for sure...
