Mechanical shock resistance is better in pretty much every case, too; I
have trouble imagining a use case where mechanical shock sensitivity is
desirable.  (Or, rather, I can imagine such use cases, but there are
other devices which are far better fits to those cases.)

Similarly for power consumption.  And the various other benefits SSDs
have, such as speed and physical size.

But, for my use case those are not important enough that I'd be willing
pay anything close to the rust-vs-SSD price differential for them, not
even for all of them together.  Hence my initial mail.
