Time to abandon large mechanical hard drives? --------------------------------------------- Time now me thinks to
ditch mechanical hard drives and go full on with SSDs for big
storage. The only thing standing in the way is high price SSD
storage. Also the effort to make larger commercial SSDs a little
weak.

High price is onne thing, but don't SSDs also have a significantly
shorter lifespan (I mean the number of re-write cycles before
degradation starts) compared to HDDs? Or am I stuck in the past and this problem has already been resolved?

Many (most?) Solid State Drives DO NOT RETAIN DATA FOREVER!
NOT for offline backups!

That only applies to old, small or very low-end SSD's. If you have a mid-range consumer SSD with 200GB+ of size, there is no realistic
workload that could ever come close to wearing it out.
