Ok, but it's rather specific case if you were still using a laptop with an HDD last year.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are still a few use cases... mainly price. A 4TB 2.5" HDD can be had for less than a bottom-of-the-barrel 2TB NVME.

But I would definitely hesitate to bring spinning drives on a bumpy ride.

Spinning drives have a no place in a laptop. In a desktop at home, sure.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Absolutely no reason to put one in a new laptop.

But not all computers are new.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Sure. But even my ~8 year old laptop has an M.2 drive. I haven't seen a spinning disk in anything I've considered buying in the last ~10 years.
