> SSDs are not suitable for the job, at least in term of cost

I think what just happened is that CMR drives just got more expensive, which may erase some of that cost advantage. Not all of it, not yet.

But principle is worth something, too. I expect a few folks who are sortof on the border will be so soured on spinning rust by this whole ordeal, as to swear it off completely.
