      And SSDs are ludicrously cheap now.

      My first SSD was 240GB, for £300. (£1.25/GB)

      I can get a 2TB one now for £64. (£0.032/GB)

      And that’s just comparing the storage, nevermind one being a vastly faster NVME drive that also takes up less space, is more power efficient, and doesn’t have two annoying cables to manage.

      IMO huge file sizes are more of a download speed issue than a storage issue
