I had a terrible experience through all my life with HDDs. Slow af, sector loss, corruption, OS corruption... I am traumatized. I got 8TB NvMe for less than $500... Since then I have not a single trouble (well except I n electric failure, BTRFS CoW tends to act weird and sometimes doesnt boot, you need manual intervention)
Sounds like you may not be making enough sacrifices to The Omnisiah

I agree that single HDDs are terrible, but once you raid multiple of them together, it becomes much better. And now with zfs even better still
