Every write action causes degradation on the drive, so it will eventually fail, making it important to have failover and backups. For example, you might have a high activity database server that must read and transfer data quickly to keep performance at optimal levels. Also, HDDs don’t have the write degradation issue that SSDs do.

A proper DR plan does not necessarily require a hot failover site. If you don’t have a failover site, mission-critical apps and their resources can be stored as replicas, which can be quickly transferred to a secondary data center.
