I'm a bit baffled that some people still use HDDs considering how cheap SSDs have gotten. You can get a 2TB M.2 for around $100. If you've got the specs for new games, there's no excuse.

I can get a 10TB HDD for under 250€, and there are some technical advantages. For example, if you have an ssd lying around unpowered, it will lose data much quicker than magnetic storage

You run programs or operating systems off that 10 TB HDD?

Some games do load quite fast on the HDD, I keep those there. Most games do go to the SSD first.
