    Finally a voice of the reason. Yes ssd is faster period. But will it even matter if you're not a gamer? Because I honestly don't think so.
    Let's be honest if you're not a type of person who needs constant fast reads or writes, i.e, gamer or video editor etc, you won't notice significant difference once the application goes to RAM. For me, the only time ssd shows any boost in speed is cold bootup and opening apps after a startup as I work with 3d apps and browsing.
    Ssd is a good option to have if you're looking for a new drive, that's for sure. Just don't get swayed by those overhyped ssd lovers on internet claiming 'everything is better with ssd', because that HEAVILY depends on what you do with your computer.

    • @jacenthegreat9536

      I have a new ssd and it was actually pretty good until my laptop's battery got too old and stopped working and it cut the performance in half. now from stable 30 fps to a Rollercoaster 30 20 10fps so startups is slower opening apps is normal but with the games I used to play with it is not playable now. it's just laggy but its good for some of the casual games.

    • @brownjonny2230
      @brownjonny2230 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@jacenthegreat9536 I don't know about that. Cheaper SSDs, especially DRAM-less ones, do get slower as the capacity fills up but it doesn't impact read speed.
      Boot up may take longer as OS actually writes some data into the drive which would be somewhat affected by SSDs writing speed. But opening up files and apps should be fast. Maybe you're running out of RAM or something?

    Second drive (main work disk) 1TB HDD for data & picture storage PLUS 3 TB HDD backup & archive.
    Includes OS formatted & all info from secondary backed up.
    Desktop #2 - 500 gig SSD primary for Fast Boot & downloads. Secondary drives ( plural ! ) - USB external 4TB HDD and 8 TB HDDs.
    - OS and all data , like 250K photos taken over the last 50 years, are on the "little 4" and the "big 8".
    Some years back, I was quoted $900 to repair / recover a crashed disk with lots of history on it.
    For that kind of $$$ I could have bought the entire 2 setups I have now with change left over.

    HDD is always your storage and archive drive. The SSD is simply for spiting out data as fast as possible. Anything you want to keep forever better be on the HDD. Anything you can replace or just copy to for use is what you use the SSD for. Example: I play my game on my SSD drive but my game is fully backed up on my HDD drive.

    i still have my 500gb HDD from roughly 13 years ago and it still works smoothly, but that's probably because i use it purely for permanent (or not, but that was my intention) storage--like, once I've filled it with files that's it. I copy from it but I never wrote on it again.

    What are the sources on the ssd lifespan? They can usually support so much data written that it will take many years before that becomes an issue for most people. Even the most budget ssds have a 3 year warranty, many have 5 years. Many hdds make it to 10 years if you take care of them but I would imagine that unless you are just hammering an ssd with writes it could probably be expected to last easily 10 ears without issue.

      @@maxx1o1 You are wrong. Software is not in the ram, it is in the hard drive.
      Software only goes into ram when it is launched and copies it's data from the hard drive to the ram. Therefore an SSD will make a dramatic improvement when it comes to launching programs and loading data into ram.
      SSD also has a dramatic improvement when copying files from one location to another in the SSD.
      And in terms of the claimed "longer lifespan" of HHD. I can assure you that your HDD will most likely fail way before you get anywhere near 10 years of usage. And even if by some miracle that a diety grants your HDD the durability to go a full 10 years, you will still throw it away long before that time because the performance will have degraded severely. SSD's will work the same for the 5 year periord, and will still work fine after 5 years. The reason they give it a lifespan of 5 years is because after 5 years they also begin to degrade in performance. But a degraded SSD will still be faster than a brand new HHD that you bought 12 minutes ago.

    Hard drives are so stinking slow and loud as fuck. Hearing the stupid thing click and the fan spin is extremely annoying, SSDs bring peace and speed. I don't need to store hundreds of GBs of shit so my 1TB HDD is basically useless, heck even 128GB would be overkill. I used to do everything and play my games on a 8GB tablet, no storage issues at all. Hard drives just have an unnecessary amount of storage space

    @benjovi356 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've worked in IT for 10 years and been a gamer for 20+ years. One other thing they didn't mention is that sometimes, software coding comes into effect. Some newer games were developed more around SSDs so they run a bit better on them vs HDDs. (The PC version of Assassin's Creed comes to mind) However, I loaded the original 1994 doom on both types and barely noticed a difference. Same with Diablo 2. It may be my system but I have noticed it sometimes depends on the game.
    Also, you can get great performance out of some Hybrid drives. They user HD disks for data but then use a wired in SSD for caching and prefetch etc. They step up HDD speed while keeping longevity.
    Time will tell if the M2s are worth it as well. If they replace SSDs in popularity and SSDs go cheaper, things could look up as well.
