True if you're talking about spinning rust, but SSDs are fast, and
getting faster and cheaper. I would expect most photographers in the
market for a FF DSLR either already have an SSD, or could spring for
one, even if it's only large enough to hold their actively-working set
of photographs before archiving to a traditional HDD.
I'm still using mostly spinny drives. I haven't noticed any kind of
bottleneck due to HDD spin rate.
I bought several SSD's (120GB & 128GB) when the local Tiger Direct store
was closing. I'll eventually get around to installing one to replace the
boot drive/programs drive on my Photoshop computer. I've been working on
other things lately & that's still on my "it ain't really broke" list.
More importantly, I'll replace the drive I dedicated to Photoshop's
scratch disk. Setting up a dedicated scratch disk speeded up Photoshop
more than anything else I did in building that computer other than
maxing out the RAM at 32GB.
My storage disk on that computer is 1.5TB and SSDs in that range are
still way too expensive.
