SSD has been a best practice requirement for a long ass time anyway. SSDs are cheap now.
I just bought an 8TB chonker last week for $340. It comfortably fit my entire Steam library of 19 years with room to spare.
A year ago this same drive was still averaging ~$650-$700.
In case someone's wondering about cheaper options; Samsung 980 500GB NVMe M.2 costs as much as £32 GBP (~40 USD), and 1 TB version is £52 GBP (~65 USD).
Bought a Samsung nvme M2 that was 2 TB for like $90.
