Can't imagine any benefit, these days, in using an hdd. Ssd storage is so cheap and so much faster and so much more reliable (in almost all cases).
There are a lot of factors to your question,
But i would generally recommend SSD+HDD setup, where hdd is for uploads and MySQL stays on SSD.
Something like around 16G ram should be enough for your setup I guess, and choose a nice CPU.
Look for HDD VPS in 2022? REALLY? You will get a huge amount of money from your site.
Don't waste your time. Just hire an expert if you are not familiar with technical problems.
I'm kinda know what I'm looking for, thank you all for responding!
HDD just for storage now
The only thing hdd good is storage server— always stick to SSD for any other use cases.
@jbiloh the question is...
is it cheap enough?
For any database heavy applications you shouldn't go for HDD these days. BTW I have hosted nodebb and it really doesn't need much resources. You can look at this topic from 2014 to see it yourself : https://community.nodebb.org/topic/2596/memory-requirements-for-100-concurrent-users/6
From my experience, a 2core - 2GB of RAM should be enough for 1k concurrent users in nodebb. Also you can use loader.io to test your forum too, free plan can test for up to 10k concurrent connection.
