SATA is really convenient for larger storage, though. I keep my OS on nvmes, but I've got a couple of SATA drive and a hot swap bay for games, media, etc.
I'm still running SATA spinny disks for my big-ish data. I can't afford a 16TB SSD...
I know that's off topic, but HDDs are still a thing too.
I'm very excited for the day I can replace my spinners with SSDs. That day is coming, but it is not today.
Right‽ I don't think anyone expected spinners to outlast SATA SSDs!
They have become expensive too IMO, a 3-4 TB drive costs more today than a couple of years ago, and the used market here in europe is insane.
