You know this one's dated because I'm pretty sure by today's standards having only a C: drive is quite unusual. Hard to find statistics on it but I'd wager most people have at least 2 storage devices, especially an SSD / HDD combo is pretty popular.

SSDs are cheap nowadays, you can very easily find a 2TB SSD for under 100 bucks.

Would such an SSD be reliable?

Samsung 970 EVO m.2 SSD for $181, Very high quality, reliable storage device.

I can get this 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB (from Amazon, shipped to the USA) for under 100$: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-970-EVO-Plus-MZ-V7S2T0B/dp/B07MFZXR1B/

An intel 2TB (which is actually Solidgim) runs under $70. I sure hope it's reliable.
