SSDs are cheap enough, no sense in using a 10 year old mechanical drive to save $30.

SSDs are not cheap anymore, mate. “AI” made sure of that.

Sure, but if we’re repurposing a decade old machine, I doubt a 1TB drive is required. Learn to live within 256 or 512, those are not super expensive. And don’t need nvme, sata is perfectly acceptable.
