Just to chime in, NVMEs are far superior for primary drives or game drives, but as a secondary storage drive for storing data, HDD would always be recommended:

1. Data doesn’t benefit from faster read times of an SSD

2. Price is excessive for SSD if just for data that’s not benefitting from speeds

3. SSD’s have a downside that when they fail, they just fail from one second to the next. There’s almost never any warning. HDD’s however deteriorate sector by sector so you get warning signs before the whole drive fails, so you can safely migrate your data to a new drive should you need to.
