If there is one thing you shouldn’t cheap out on imo it’s the storage.
Broke-ass grad student budgets. Doing my best.
Then just get a pair of hard drives and put them in RAID 1. I use a NAS with a single hand-me-down 5600 RPM HDD and the bandwidth is absolutely fine.
There is probably some iron triangle to be found there; cheap, large capacity ,reliable ; chose two.
You can have all three of those, but you won’t get great performance. The Samsung QVO SATA drives are a great example. I wouldn’t use those for an OS drive but they’re fantastic for NAS or media use.
So not fast. Which means the original still holds true.
Oh I agree with your post, but I was responding to Valmond who used different criteria.
