Wouldn't a HDD based system be like 1/10th the price? I don't know if HDDs are going away any time soon.

For servers physical space is also a huge concern. 2.5” drives cap out at like 6tb I think, while you can easily find an 8tb 2.5” SSD anywhere. We have 16tb drives in one of our servers at work and they weren’t even that expensive. (Relatively)

You can put multiple 8 gig m.2 ssds into 2.5" slot.
