In some regions of the world, the option of running a full node is not possible due to the slowness of the Internet, as downloading the blockchain may take several weeks. Here, these people must use SPV wallets, or at least trust a trusted person who manages a full node with a connection via Tor.
If you have the option to manage an entire node, you should do so, not to enhance privacy, but to decentralize the network.

You don't need 1TB SSD for OS and code/software. Although these days SSD with 1/2 or 1 TB capacity have good price/capacity ratio than SSD with lower capacity.
I don't think storage will be a problem as the cost of TB/USD is falling every year and Moore's Law says it will fall even further.That's true, although i never say it's problem. I mentioned that in case OP prefer not to overspend or sure that computer won't be used for other purpose which require lots of storage space.
