@maikel basically, it boils down to the few key features of #Monero:
1.
#Anonymity & #Privacy: Unlike with any other #cryptocurrency (aka. #Shitcoins) it's not just pseudonymous in that there is no mandatory linkage between individuals & their wallets, but the entire transaction history and balance is hidden. Unlike say #Bitcoin or #Ethereum one cannot track the coins from the moment of mining to their destination.
2.
Speed: Monero's network does mine one block every 2 minutes. After 10 blocks any transfered balance gets unlocked for spending. That means that a transfer is completed at worst within 6 minutes and the balance is being unlocked at worst after 24 minutes. This makes it faster than Instant-#SEPA which only has a 1 hour SLA.
3.
#Fungibility: Like #cash all it's coins are equal, since they cannot be tracked. This makes Monero the digital equivalent of cash.
4.
#Scalability & #Stability: Monero adaptively self-adjusts block sizes and mining difficulty based upon demand (transactions in it's mempool
aka. requested transactions that have to be added to the blockchain) and supply (total blockchain hashrate). Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum it has a fixed Tail Emission Rate of at least 0,6 #XMR (Monero) per block, so the miners solving it get at least 0,6 XMR (+ transaction fees), which is a longterm stable rate. Bitcoin and Ethereum will necessitate huge transfer fees once their last coins are mined to make sense, which will result in the crash of said cryptocurrencies as they'll be too expensive to trade!
5.
Anti-#ASIC and focussed on #CPU|s of general-purpose machines: Whilst it does run on #ProofOfWork, it's specifically designed to run poorly on #GPU|s and not on #ASICs as the latter one are not just manufactured #eWaste but also inherently increase the centralization (with less than a dozen big miners controlling >50% of Bitcoin and Ethereum's hashrate respectably). Thus it's the "least worst" in that regard. #ProofOfStake is not possible due to it's privacy-based setup (#Staking necessitates a public balance) and unlike a #Shitcoin like #FileCoin it doesn't incentivize #hoarding components. (in this case: #HDD|s)
6.
Accepted & Convertable: Whilst there is a concerted effort to ban Monero, there are payment processors like #NowPayments that accept Monero. It's low transaction fees and good speed make it useable in settings like Restaurants and Online Stores (sadly not retail, because it would need to be like 60x faster)... And even then it's easy to convert to/from Shitcoins.
That's the #TLDW of Whiteboard Crypto, Mental Outlaw and The Hated One…
And finally:
7.
Monero gets continously developed and enhanced, whereas Bitcoin, #Litecoin and Ethereum don't even do proper #upgrades via #HardForks (see #EthereumClassic)...

My /home directory was stored on a RAID 0 composed of two cheapish SSDs, and one of them already has "slow sectors".
I migrated it to the next best thing I had lying around: An array of 4 mechanical HDDs in RAID 10. (far2 layout)
You would think that HDDs would be painfully slow, but it's not that bad, actually.
It's very slightly slower, but it appears that 4 HDDs working together can almost beat a cheap chinese SSD.

I also remember backing up onto #floppy disks back in the day, but this has always been rather impractical.
The #IBMPC #XT had a 10MB #HDD and 360kB FDD, so with a 2:1 compression ratio, you'd need 15 disks to back the machine up.
This didn't change much in the early '90s. You had a 1440kB FDD, but you also had a 40MB HDD, so you'd need 14 floppies to back it up.
The introduction of USB HDDs, especially compact bus-powered ones, has *greatly* improved the #backup situation.
