If this is a Hetzner machine then yes, but enterprise SSDs costs more, especially from enterprise vendors. But this only drives the storage cost up.

More so, if you tend to send some big amount of data every 5 minutes and you are somewhat constrained by memory (32 / 1000 x 100 = 3.2%) then it would be easier to just read it from the storage again. If you are not constrained by storage bandwidth, of course.

And by the way, the latest gaming consoles (at least PlayStation?) is designed around this concept - they trade having big amount of RAM (which in case of PS5 is shared between GPU and the OS) to just loading assets from the storage extremely fast 'just in time'. Which works fine for games.
