Question question about SSD and high use

[Gfost73]

hello, I am building a new PC and will be upgrading to a SSD (ive never had one before) . but I am wondering if I should also add a traditional HDD for things like torrents? I seed torrents pretty much 18 hours a day, and am wondering if a HHD may be better for this sort of constant reading/writing to the disk. or will a SSD be fine with that sort of abuse? anyway any insight would be greatly appreciated. thanks

For that use, yes, an HDD would be better.
Why? Because the speed does not matter. No sense in spending SSD money on low traffic data.

ok , makes sense, I was thinking more a HDD mainly due to worrying that the constant read/write may burn it out faster than a HDD.I guess this isn't the case though? but I agree I can save a little on buying a large SSD like a 1TB one, buy just a 500GB one as my main drive and a 1TB HDD for torrents with the money saved (and probably still have a little left)
