    You’re weighing speed & energy usage vs cost. With a small array, HDDs power draw difference probably won’t amount to much and you may hit the RPi’s I/O bottleneck before fully benefiting from SSDs speeds, though latency would be better.

    But TL;DR: If your goal is to learn and build something cheap, go HDD. If you hate it, you can upgrade over time.
