HDD isn't that bad, i still use a HDD to run few full node software. Besides, 1TB SSD could be relative expensive on country with high import duty tax or low minimum monthly wage.
Yeah but anyone done any comparison on how long it takes to rebuild the blockchain on spinning disk vs SSD in case your chain get's corrupt? If I need access to my wallet, I don't want to wait 2 weeks lol...
Just sayin, the cost is negligible nowadays, and you can always backup your blockchain to spinning disk using free utils like FreeFileSync etc...
