    Buy WD drives for now.

    QLC drives are coming. Less heat, less electricity, less space, way
    longer life, and sizes in the hundreds of TB real soon now for the same
    cost as spinning rust.

    You are mixing HDD and SSD in one single message. Better split it into 2 threads. :)

    According to some, QLC has shorter lifespan than TLC and even less than
    SLC, though we cannot find SLC drives now.
