I was honestly thinking about dropping the HDD altogether and just getting a big SSD.
Im open to suggestions.

The only HDD that has ever failed in a PC in my entire family was mine, a Seagate 2TB drive.

Depends.
If you buy an older seagate you should be fine. I have had a Seagate 1TB external for about 3 years now and it has not failed yet.

"we pulled 100 students from this town in alabama to test if they know geography (this represents the us), then we pulled 10000 students from a few high league colleges in the UK to see if they know geography. The studies shown that the UK definitely knows more about geography"
unless i am mistaken, they had 1600 WD drives against 31,000 Seagate drives. The data is skewed.
