Hello,

This is the new yearly poll for sharing your preferred storage solutions and covers both hard disk drives and solid-state drives.  The previous year's poll can be found here.

Feel free to share favorite HDD and SSD model(s) as well as describe what you are currently using this year, plus any planned upgrades.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
