Since this community has already established that piracy* is justified, and we need our SSDs to store all our morally rationalized but illicitly obtained copies of content we enjoy but don't want to spend money on, how do we now proceed? Obviously we won't spend money, it's the entire reason we're pirating in the first place. This leaves us with only one option: we'll have to be modern-day Robin Hoods and shoplift these SSDs, because fuck corporate greed.
What does this have to do with privacy?
Oh hell no! Spinning HDDs are way cheaper per TB! Absolutely no reason to build a library on SSDs.
I think you missed an important part of the Robin Hood story.
