Yes vote for SSD but HDD is still being used.
Should we avoid web hosting companies offering HDD in their plans?

Providers which use HDD's on shared and reseller plans are hosting more websites per server than hosts offering SSD Drives on their nodes. The main reason for this is the abundance of storage and therefore the ability to host more websites per server node.

SSD as they are faster than HDD. However it also comes with higher cost therefore you have to weigh the pros and cons of getting SSD as they are much more expensive.

Is it worth getting SSD for the price you are paying?

The answer to your question is yes, with SSD technology I/O bottlenecks are much harder to achieve, not to mention the longer life span due to no spinning parts at high RPM.

I think SSD is great for instant access on a normal PC. I am not sure about web hosts as a lot of hosts use CloudLinux and depedning on the thir limits depends on how well their site will perform regardless of SSD or not.

SSD's all the way! Combine that with Raid 10 and you have a safe and fast storage solution.

I am wondering what are your choices when comparing in enterprise class drives, SSD and SATA? and does it vary by your application?
Hands down SSD. Much faster I/O and overall server performance.

Web hosts that still use SATA are looking to cram as many customers as they can on one box for a massive ROI.

Not a good approach to quality hosting IMO.

Around 10 years ago I used shared hosting but they are really slow and I am sure web hosting companies used SATA or non-ssd
since moved to SSD and new technologies my websites ran faster and i think SSD is a must of all web hosting today.

If they do, then just for a reason - price. I mean price, for the customer who can't afford to pay for a SSD. So there is nothing "bad" and the "approach" of such companies is appreciated.

Sata is old and cheaper like everyone told,
ssd more secure, faster, now providers are sellingit for the same price as SATA , so i think everyone will get ssd these days

I prefer ssd, it is fast and relatively efficient than data.

SSD are so much quicker than conventional SATA drives. There are no moving parts because there is no spinning disk like you would find in a SATA drive that has to read and write data to an actual disk.

Both have their own advantages. With SATA, you can definitely get much more storage, and you can still achieve great performance if you utilize enterprise drives, with an enterprise RAID controller.

SSD of course. The industry has been moving in that direction and any host using HDD is way behind times.

Like a memory stick, there are no moving parts to an SSD. Rather, information is stored in microchips. Conversely, a hard disk drive uses a mechanical arm with a read/write head to move around and read information from the right location on a storage platter. This difference is what makes SSD so much faster.

In my opinion, an SSD (solid state drive) is lot more better when compared to a SATA or Hard Disk Drive. The manifold difference in their access speeds makes this comparison even more drastic. An SSD is 90 to 100 times more faster than a SATA. It has better performance, reliability, flexibility (in terms of memory), and what not. The power efficiency is good, consuming on less power with increased battery life. It is widely available with different options and is great value for the money in the long run because of its lifespan.

So we can see that an SSD is a clear winner when compared to a SATA.

It's really funny, that the user looks just at the "SSD speed"... The connection speed and the processor speed is way more important in a dedicated server. So if you have a XXL-super SSD but you are on a 100MBps wire, then the SSD won't speed things up as dramaticaly as expected compared to a SATA or SCSI.

SSD or nothing. I've used sata hard-drives in the past and can say the difference is pretty much clear. Ssd is fast and devoid of failing like the sata counterparts.

I would definitely opt for SSD over SATA. SSD are 100% electronic. They are much faster than the traditional hard drives.

As SSDs have no moving parts, SSDs are definitely more reliable. Traditional hard drives have mechanical parts moving extremely quickly and over time these parts can degrade and fail due to daily usage.
