I still buy Hard drive for backup and mass storage. Hard drives still cheaper at capacity over SSDs for backup and archiving but I have seen SSDs prices crashing
I bet having a lot of large torrent files both reading and writing to the SSD simultaneously, the RAM would be unable to service all that churning, so the memory cells would get a lot of R/W cycles churning them. That would reduce the SSD lifespan below that of a hard drive.
Saying they're the same price is a bit of a stretch especially at multi-terabyte storage sizes. However I'll admit there is competition when you put a dollar value on the benefits of solid state.
Lots of missing factors here, hard drives come in much higher capacities, ssds have limited write amounts, my hard drives actually tend to last longer than some of my SSDs and I'm going for decent brands not cheap ones. Hard drives are a lot slower but depending on what your using it for may not be a factor for example storing film or audio it will be find or storing older games, load time is the only thing it massively changes
Yes sir. Except loading time I can't see any positive points in SSD. How can I? When my SSD died within 3-4 years but my HDD is still alive and rocking hard even though it's 11+ years old
Can confirm. The move from spinny drive to SSD is honestly night and day. Your system will feel snappier not because of more memory but because of the severely shortened seek times for data. Then there is the sound. you don't realize how much noise a spinny drive makes until you swap out. I had always thought the noise was my fans. NOPE. that wrrr was the platter. Get an SSD. Even for an older computer like mine it is a massive improvement.
Never buy a SSD because installing games or any software or storing anything won't demand you 750MB/s, it will ask if you have 750MB of space or not. SSD are completely unreliable and fragile. Even a SSD that costs 4 grands is nothing but a fragile plastic PCB that can be easily melted or broken
Oh and a funny thing about the new evidence, the jury said they didn’t even consider the new evidence to come to their guilty verdict. That poor mother’s text was truly a testimony from beyond the grave.
In small sizes such as 256 and 512 Gigs the difference between an SSD is usually just $10 than the HDD of the same size so obviously going SSD is the choice here. However when you to large size such 2, 4 & 8 Terabytes the HDD are half the prices of an SSD
HDDs are still cheaper at higher capacities and good for a lot of non speed sensitive applications including many older/retro/indie/emulated games. When I built my system last year I went for a 120GB SATA SSD Boot drive and 4TB SSHD for game storage. Since added a 1TB NVMe for modern AAA titles. By the time I build the next rig a single 4TB min. NVMe will be practical cost:performance. 2TB NVMe’s are pretty much there already now, unlike a year ago.
Harddrives are still much cheaper per GB than about any SSD. Also the deterioration is the same for SSDs. SSDs are mostly limited by the number of writes so if you need lots of data storage and you write a lot to it then HDDs might be the way to go. For any regular PC though its SSDs all the way.
I just bought 6tb of hdd for 60 USD. The same stuff cost me 160 7 years ago. For my PC I will be switching to SSDs soon, but really with the cost of HDDs these days; I'm about to build an AM3+ sever for deep storage. I really want a Petabyte server ☺️☺️
fun fact on uk gcses which determine your grades to get you into college if you have a question on ssds and hardrives and dont say harddrives are cheaper your going to lose a mark
Between scratched disks, disk and arm motor failures, bad sectors etc vs no moving parts to fail or worry about shock damages. I've had a few hdds go bad. Never had an ssd go bad yet.
For your audience you're right. SSD is good for a boot drive and working game drive. Many gamers could get by with 1TB or less. On 1TB or less, The difference is a few bucks and not huge. You want games and windows to load fast. But if you're backing up files, or big media libraries, loads of films etc. and super high speed is not an issue, HDD is often better. HDDs have higher capacities. SSD storage at least in the UK is at least 3x the price of HDD. You are not going to get a 12TB SSD drive for £160 on sale like I did on a HDD the other week. Comparable pricing of 3 x 4TB SSDs, would put you at £600+, plus you'd need all those extra connectors. Also HDDs can and do often last longer than SSDs as the cells in SSDs can burn out after an amount of wear and tear. What I'd say is have an SSD as a working drive. And anything you want to store or not use immediately, have an external HDD (or internal one) for retrieving things to and fro.
SSD Hard drive is about 250mbs per second. My Gen3 M2 is doing about 3500 mbs per second. 10 gigs of data transferred in 10 seconds. The choice isnt hard.
For operating systems and high speed transfer necessary for gaming, ssd, but for longevity and large amounts of storage, mechanical hdd every time. There are ide hdd's from the early 80s that will still boot with a little oil on the exposed head worm gears. I don't see ssd's lasting that long
I wish I could afford the 80TB in ssd’s for the nas I just built haha. Hdd with raid is pretty quick. Can easily hit 300-500MBps. There’s no consumer option for small scale media/file servers
Best option 2 m.2 and 1 hdd. 1 M.2 for your boot up and operating system so your PC can run fast and the second ones for the main games you play a lot and the HDD for huge storage of backlog of games if you get the money for 4tb or more tb m.2 you don't need the HDD or ssd
You are biased af. SSDs are better, but only if you need speed and higher data density. Try affording to make a 30TB+ SSD array without being rich af. But yes, a SSD for frequently used files and the OS is better.
The only thing you missed is used hard drives are like $10 even for a TB used and I have seen SSDs sold for slightly cheaper than the original price used.
I don't consider the death of my Kingston A400 in just 3-4 years a longer lifespan. But my WD Caviar Blue HDD which is very old, even belongs to before 2012 still works great and haven't given a single error yet. Even if you count from 2012 then it's been 11 years and nothing has happened to my HDD while SSD died in few years. All SSDs are made up of plastic PCB and plastic can be shattered into powder with just a simple twist. Meanwhile all HDD are made up of metal and you can only bend or dent a metal, you can't shatter them. Installing a game or software won't demand 750MB/s, it will demand 750MB of storage volume. Extreme overheating is the worst part of any SSD. HDD will become warm or just hot. But NVMe SSD will still run in 70°-80° even after installing the best heatsink. 2TB HDD is still cheaper than 2TB SSD. Data recovery is 100% possible in a HDD and you can recover data even from a HDD that got turned into smithereens. While data recovery isn't an option in SSD. Even if it is, there is only less than 20% chance.
yep! Thats what i did. My cave laptop is working much faster with just Samsung 870 EVO for windows only and HDD for data storage. I can't put an M.2 but if you can, go with m.2 over SATA ssd ,no question about that!
Get an ssd for boot and for games that need faster storage or that you play a lot. Use hard drives for mass storage and games that don’t care as much about drive speed. Also hard drives tend to last a long time if it’s well made and taken care of. I have 20+ year old hard drives that still work fine.
On capacity HDD always will be King. If you don't need the speed, if it's just plain Storage, it's a lot cheaper to get a big new good HDD than a really fast small SSD
If you need long term storage that's not going to be plugged in for a long time. I would use a HDD. SSD need to be powered frequently more than a HDD to keep you data. You can have HDD unplugged for 5 years and still have the data. SSD not so much

Ok so I know this is a little off topic but I’m on a budget right now and I need help finding a good cpu if you can help please put the Amazon link in the reply or just tell me what it is
There’s no hard drive even remotely close to a SATA SSD or NvME. Even with the cheapest SATA SSD you can expect r/w around 500MB/s. Good luck getting even remotely close to that with a single HDD without any RAID configurations, even then HDD slows down as they fill up.

Then I bought a 1tb nvme SSD and then used my 1tb sata SSD as a games drive. Was so much better. Now SSDs are cheaper than hard drives. Hard drives are only worth buying in larger sizes for servers or for a NAS.
Umm... did you forget about mSATA SSDS 😂
mSATA SSDS plug into your motherboard and are basically m.2 ssds for older pcs with 3rd gen Intel cpus.
Nah, still using hdd for storage, cheap af, using an m.2 for boot drive tho.
Tell that to my 8tb firecuda(160 bucks)
Thats a sshd isn’t it?
idk but I never have to worry about storage again@@AtomicSub
Neither. Get an Nvme gen 4 drive
Longer life span??
M.2 has the longest lifespan
@@dominictrepiccionelies. My SATA HDD is 11+ years old and still rocking hard
pagefile is an ssd killer, ill stick to sshd if expansion is not available
I always map the page file to my HDD so that only the OS and apps are on the SSD. It works perfectly fine.
can you suggest me an ssd for laptop lenovo 15ADA05 81W1?
What about for external use? Should I buy External HDD or SDD?
HDD
lol some board have the m.2 under the gpu and mine died because of it. i currenty save 2 ssds but only because i dont have room for a hard drive.
Ok so I know this is a little off topic but I’m on a budget right now and I need help finding a good cpu if you can help please put the Amazon link in the reply or just tell me what it is
Bro timed his loop perfectly 💯 🔥
Or buy a business hard drive which is similar speeds
Are you sure about that?
There’s no hard drive even remotely close to a SATA SSD or NvME. Even with the cheapest SATA SSD you can expect r/w around 500MB/s. Good luck getting even remotely close to that with a single HDD without any RAID configurations, even then HDD slows down as they fill up.
I do not know where you live, but I have NEVER seen a NVME SSD have the same price as a HD of the same capacity.
Just get an m.2
Get a SATA HDD instead. Games require 750GB of storage for installation, not 7500MB/s speed
