Noob here, I want to use a 2tb drive inside my PC to keep a copy of my entire system on it (I already have a small nas for data storage, this is not for that, but to have a copy of my system in case one of my internal drives fail).

My system would automatically back up every 30 minutes while it's in use, so I have an almost live copy at all times.

I'd like to use an ssd but it's double the price of an hdd, so what good reasons would I have in this situation to go for the ssd? Or is the hdd fine?

Noise wouldn't be an issue since I use my PC from another room. Speed shouldn't be an issue either, since I never have to use the data and other than the first full upload, it'll always be small transfers, right? Am I missing something?
