Best drive I can get cyber Monday, SSD or HDD, for multimedia archival with high reliability and as cheap as I can get it for (in the case of SSDs small max writes is fine so long as the data on the SSD remains readable). Prioritize reliability over absolute cost though.

There is no reason not to use one as a boot drive.
Just buy a bunch of old hard drives from ebay, reliability is a meme, redundancy and backups is the way to go
yea buy some old hard drives off Ebay lol
