I think my backup drive is dying. It's a 6TB...

Should I?

What's the damage/cost?

If your backup drive is dying, definitely.

$720.

I could save a lot of money by going HDD again... but I kind of want the speed of SSD.

Yeah that's pretty expensive. I guess it makes sense, as I spent about $100 recently on a 1TB SSD.

The speed is definitely worth the extra cost.

It's the only HDD in my system. I have an M.2 and a PCI-E M.2 drive I have in this thing that add up to 1.2TB... and I spent way more than this hard drive. But both are significantly faster (they're also my two main drives.)

I'm just waffling between just replacing the drive for significantly cheaper, or getting the SSD because I have a ton of media on that drive that I get tired of waiting for it to load.
