Using an actual hard drive for an embedded system like this would be a failure in and of itself.

You may be surprised to learn that these stores use machines that are occasionally more than a year old and also use inexpensive tech like enterprise spinny disk.

A spinny disk will work in this space, and you know they'll be deciding based on cost.
