A spinning hard drive with a powerful speaker next to it - that's going to end in tears!!!
Can't believe in 2016 that they are still putting unreliable spinning hard drives in cheaper end computers! Crazy!

I really like what Lenovo is doing here. Especially the lack of their logo and the prominence of the B&O logo. A B&O desktop computer!

SSDDs have finite lifespans too, not an infinite number of read write cycles. And HDs are still significantly cheaper.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Although I'd consider SSDs for any of my personal computer's internal storage for their speed, I wouldn't say spinning HDD's are crap. They're cheap, yes, their price per GB storage provides value, and if you pick the right ones, you're going to get a lot of use. Here's BackBlaze's 2016 HDD report.
None of us are going to use spinning disks like BackBlaze does, but I would be hard pressed to say I don't trust spinning drives. I have SSDs as my startup drives for my wife's and my main computer -- for the sheer speed alone. But I have spinning disks for my server, and all my backups. I guess that's the lesson: have a backup, and if you can, have a redundant backup(s).
My laptop uses a SSDD, and you're right, the speed rocks, but for sheer storage volume I have a NAS with large HDDs setup as RAID 1 for redundancy. The NAS is on my network and easy to get too, best of both worlds, as you have too Sal, each technology where it's most appropriate.
If you aspire storage performance, SSDs are always the fastest solution. But it remains eye wateringly expensive (especially for 'enterprise grade') creating a big storage in SSDs.
I had a good deal some time ago to put enterprise-class HDDs in my server, so I must be crazy to swap them for consumer-class SDDs.
For my purpose and it all depends on what your goal is: are you really trying to store something, use common 7200RPM HDDs. If you want to serve data (stored elsewhere) or accept data or interact with large data (like DB), then using SSDs is a good option.
