Due to my old PC's death, I must replace it earlier than I hoped, so I'm building a cheap temporary upgrade. Hence I'll stick to HDD's for now, and when SSD's with large capacity will be cheaper, and the tech will allow a larger number of rewrites before failure, I'll add to my next major upgrade a SSD too, using it for the things that it can improve the most, while HDD storage will be for everything that doesn't need the largest possible boost.

As long as you stick with TLC drives, you shouldn't have troubles with the endurance or life span of any modern SSD. Most 1TB drives with TLC memory last the equivalent of writing 300TB in them. Will you fill the drive so many times before you upgrade a gain?

That said, stay away from the drives fitted with QLC memory.
