For SSD, anything above 2 TB be careful. It might not be real. Still waiting for the 2 TB prices to come down. Need it urgently.

2nd hand SSD is because a lot of people don't know how to use them.

You can buy directly from the manufacturer but pay for the shipping and GST costs.

you're right for certain brands and models...............i normally buy Crucial MX500 (SATA).............but i found Kioxia Exceria (NVME) models cheaper than the Crucial................also using TLC NAND..........

Actually HDD is more reliable, provide you're willing to fork out enough enough to buy a good brand/model.

Most HDDs will actually give some warning before total failure so you'd have enough time to copy out the data. For SSD, it usually breaks down without any warning, giving you no time to do backups.

For the same amount to buy SSD, I can buy a good enterprise HDD with a much bigger capacity which can last me a long time.

Now, SSD is cheaper than HDD.

So small storage: https://www.carousell.sg/  

There is a lot of Samsung SSDs. Don't know what the quality is. Usually, a lot of people don't know how to use them, so they sell them off. Just reformat them.

I dunno about 2.5" as mine are all 3.5". But what I did is buy a good enclosure to house the 3.5" HDDs and make them into external storage.

You can buy plenty of re-furbished or re-certified enterprise HDD at a bargain.

But my advice is still not to watch porn. Bad for health and fortune.

SSD breakdown can recover the data lah. It is much cheaper than HDD. Just desolder the storage chip will do and transfer to a new ssd board.
SSD normally the controller chip spoils easily.

Now smd desoldering kit is very chip. $40++ can get a good one.

[RiseofAsia]

To remove SMD chip, needs to set blower temperature to 400 to 450deg C in order to remove it.

You cannot beat HDD in terms of price. You can't even get a 14TB SSD but I can get one HDD for less than $200. And why would I even one to buy a smd desoldering machine for a fault that may or may not happen, or even if I buy it I'm only going to use it once?

For large amount of data, it's still better to buy a HDD. I've no doubt about it.

HDD speed is too slow. About 160MB/s. 
Now Gen 5 NVME SSD already 14000MB/s speed. It is 90x faster.

Depends on what you need the storage for. For TS's purpose of storing videos, a HDD is good enough. 杀鸡不需要用牛刀

We've got to be practical and realistic. Most people will not DIY to repair their electronic equipment, no matter how easy you think it is. And somemore for TS who has repeatedly indicated that he can't even replace an electrical socket, this kind of repair work is beyond him.

We've got to offer solution to a person taking into account his technical and financial capability.
