In this video I show the advantage to using traditional mechanical hard drives, or spinning disk hard drives, with your Mac for longterm backups and archives. The cost per terabyte of mechanical drives is very hard to beat and they are faster than a lot of cheap and mid-priced SATA and NVMe SSDs when those SSDs have run out of SLC cache and start writing to their TLC NAND storage. While long term data integrity is much better on mechanical hard drives compared to solid stage storage.

The drive that I'm using in the video is the 18TB WD elements hard drive.
