Other things to consider

The main two things you want to consider are price and storage. SSDs tend to be more expensive for less storage while you can get terabytes of storage on an HDD for the same price or less. HDDs tend to be slower and are more prone to data loss and corruption. SSDs are considered way more reliable. HDDs also take up more room in the case. You also need to consider whether you want internal storage or external storage. External storage works the same as internal storage except it plugs into a USB port instead of being plugged into the motherboard. External storage can be very convenient if you move files around frequently as it can be unplugged and plugged into a new computer and be used immediately.
