@warm_gun: well, yes and no. Platter drives are cheaper, but painful to play all-digital on. The fastest ones are high fail risk (ask me how I know 😝).
There's no way I'd spend 950 on an SSD, but I'd also (and do) happily invest in smaller SSDs over cheaper platter counterparts of the same size
Mechanical drives are just fine for gaming. I've been gaming on my 7200 RPM drive for more than eight years and it shows no signs of failing soon. "Painful" is such a strong word to describe occasional loading, that normally isn't that long anyway.
