This article, and the majority of the comments here, are about using SSDs in server environments, where permanently high load and zero downtime is the norm.
And it doesn&#x27;t even seem to be about SSDs vs HDDs, it is about SSDs vs future technologies.<p>For personal use, SSDs outperform HDDs in just about every aspect, if you can afford the cost, an SSD is the better choice.
And there is nothing mentioned here about downsides of leaving a drive plugged in and powered on at all times.
