If you need very large (4TB+ drives) maybe, but 1-2TB SSDs are so cheap nowadays. 2TB SSDs today are cheaper than 2TB HHDs from 10 years ago, and the price discrepancy is quite narrow unless you're looking at 4TB+ drives.
I don't even bother looking at HHDs for my own computers anymore unless I need bulk storage for videos or something.
