SSDs are way faster. I keep the system on ssd and the bulk of data on a large platter drive. You can afford losing program data but not your personal files so I'd advise for putting systems on the ssd and data on the mechanical drive. this way you have a blazing fast system and the disk holding your precious info gets little use anyway not being under pressure for normal system operation, eventually swap file/partition r/w, (not that it gets much use today now that everyone has at last 16 Gb of ram anyway) but for goodness' sake do regularly backup the sensible info on another drive, better if it is an entirely different PC dong just that. This way you will get the best of the two worlds also because SSD space is costlier than HD space.
SSD will croak. It is a given. It is predictable. HDD will too but in my experience they give out more signs of failure before kicking the bucket. More than once HDDs went bad on me but the SMART daemon noticed me of impending failure so I had the chance to back up data before they surrendered their beautiful spinning soul back to the Big sector in the sky. Disks don't drain a lot of power so three drives shouldn't be an issue for the power supply. Hope this helps.

True. I have 3 platter drives. 1 for storage, one for games and photos, and 1 for Windows 11. My laptop is ssd but I keep nothing personal on it. I can have 2 drives in it if I wanted to. My desktop is my gaming rig and work horse.

Wow that is a trip.

What an amazing world we have now.

I once worked on some grow books, and had to do the layouts for the translations in addition to the English versions. What a bitch it was trying to line up the text with the right images in the proper places, and with the correct captions. Let alone the translation errors along the way. Russian was the worst... so many changes upon changes over a few months - for one book.

Sorry to go off topic.
