- Rob from ASUS compares the boot times for the ASUS U36SD-A1 with 640GB HDD ($899) vs. the ASUS U36SD-XA1 with 160GB SSD ($1099).
Both notebooks have otherwise identical specifications with 2nd-Gen Intel Core i5-2410M processors, NVIDIA GT520M graphics, and 4GB of DDR3 1333MHz memory.
that time when booting up meant you get your morning coffee :D
faster boot means more jerkin before starting work
@@GeraltOfRivia99 🤣🤣🤣
Not ony for booting up also programs loads slower
No I wake up to turn it on, take shower
I would open chrome, go to the kitchen to make a sandwich then comeback and it conveniently opens the time get back
When he said 2nd gen Intel I realized this video is from 2011 omg
hate the space gap between the screen and the notebook, floating hinges are so ugly
very true...
Walla yeah
I kinda like it
Looks scary to me as if they are flimsy and capable of breaking off real easy
Walla that’s the past for you
He said the one on the right, I was paying attention to the one on MY right. I thought man, what a crappy invention lol.
HDD is the older ways while SSD will be the Future, Its just an advancement in Tech.
Same 😂
@@The30JAG m.2 is the future tho
@@danielcardenas1699 m.2 is just an interface, its still an ssd on the inside (solid state drive), just like sata, msata and m.2 are all ssd interfaces, despite sata also being used in hdds
What Im saying is, m.2 isnt a storage type, its just an interface for ssds.
@@_Haadi oh alright
So why is it in my recommend after 7 years?
Because you were recently watched videos about laptop-technology-drives etc. And by recently we mean even 3 months before the recommendetion.
Because SSDs are cheaper now, I guess...

Lol it's 9 now.
If your building a PC, get a 120Gb SSD for your applications and a 1TB HDD to store your photos, movies, games, etc.
should only set you back $150
horrible advice, save games especially on SSD the load times ingame will decrease dramatically
Wartooth82 everything on my pc is in total 120GB which includes 6 games I regularly play. I don't understand how people can use so much space, I only have programs and games installed I actually use, unused ones are instantly deleted eventhough I have 2TB of storage, that's why I will buy a 256GB SSD for my new built gaming rig
Z7 Most people use up so much space because of slow internet. If I got bored of a game that was 20GB+ for a few weeks and uninstalled it, I wouldn't wanna wait forever for it to install again. Most games these days are 10-50GB big now ( especially AAAs )
Z7 The Evil Within is around 44 GB, Shadow of Mordor also around 40 GB. You can't store much of games these day in single SSD with OS installed.
Rakashin7 what would you put in the SSD?
I love you. I'm going to end up getting a SSD since I work a lot on my pc. It will save a lot of time for sure! Those extra seconds does add up like mad.
SSD are the best upgrade you can do for speed, my old ever reliable Thinkpad was running a 320gb HD since I bought it but it's always sounded like a bag of spanners and slow, so recently upgraded to an Intel SSD and the difference is night and day, the laptop is ridiculously quiet now and super fast.
I have an SSD in my desktop, but was wanting to see how well one would perform in my older laptops .. Definitely looks like it would breathe some new life into them :) Thanks for the video..
Wow, I never thought the speed difference can be that huge.
i miss the old startup on HDD and searched for this video to relive those memories.
In 2018 no one should be without a SSD, especially in a laptop. But even still, if you took a computer from 2011 and put a SSD from 2018, it almost brings new life to that machine.
I was wondering if SSD's were really that much faster. You've made it very clear to me that they are. Thank you for posting, your video was very helpful.
M.2 drives are much MUCH faster
What a lot of people focus on is boot up speed, and snappy opening of programs, but its also important to consider such things as processing large video files, or moving large files across hard drives, etc. Most of the lower priced SSDs have very poor performance when copying large amounts of data after the cache is full. In other words, its designed for less than 9 second transfers, and if you go above that, the SSD moves at a snails pace, and is actually slower than a fast HDD. Nobody mentions this, because of marketing reasons.
Does somthing like "fast HDD" exist? lol. Let me know where. Until then, I stick to my slow SSD:)
***** There are SSHD's, which are solid-state drives combined with 1tb of regular hard drive storage.
Ryan M Rather call it a hardrive with 1tb storage, combined with 8gb ssd cache.
boffifis1 I don't really see the point of them anyway, since there are already SSD's with 1tb of space....
Ryan M Neither do i thats why i said it. ssds rock. While 8gb of sshd cache is useless
You can tell this video is old as fuck because the 120gb ssd is over $1000
Those are the prices including the laptop.
In 2011 you were still paying at least $400-$500 for a standard size (120gb-250gb) ssd
+YaMoonSun
Yeah I know but not $1000 in this case since it comes with the laptop.
i love the way you said it
not 400-500 USD. I payed about 200 euros for my first 120GB SSD. That's about 250 USD. This was 5 years ago.
Ahhh Windows 7, my favorite.
Windows 7....the OS that made me use linux. And Linux pushed me back to windows. Then windows 10 came out, i said nope. Then i bought an Asus and Win10 was on it. You can keep your Win 7.

@@jakob_123 why?
I want an SSD, but how the hell do you compensate for the low storage?
+BattlefrontZero Have two drives. You can replace your optical disc drive (which almost nobody uses nowadays) with an adapter for a hard drive. The best solution would be placing the SSD in the default place where the HDD was and put the HDD in the adapter, so now you have the system and bigger applications on the SSD and the rest on the HDD
Is 1tb low
***** Gotcha. Thanks for the info! Building my own PC soon, so I'm scared lol.
Defcon 5 1 TB HDD is like 50 bucks now. Dirt cheap and a lot of space. 1 TB SSD will cost you though.
Yes, of course, SSD are still expensive, and also, for storage, you are better off with an HDD anyway. And 1TB is more than enough, I myself have only 500GB and it's enough for me! As for the SSD, at least, 120GB, but I'd recommend 250GB, because that way you know that you have plenty space for all your programs and games, maybe! And also, a 250GB SSD costs around 90€ over here, so it's not crazy expensive either!
I already knew the direction I was leaning. I own a Macbook air, and I know the difference that the SSD makes. This just makes me want one even more for my HP laptop. That is definitely going to breath some new air into that computer, and I cannot wait for it.
HDD's still have a long life as they have bigger capacities but when SSD's catch up on terms of price and capacity, Good bye HDD :P
Maybe true. But for most desktops out there you can have two hard-drives. I just use SSD for most used programs/game/O.S and my HDD for storage.
For my laptop, I have the SSD installed internally as the main-drive and a HDD in the ultrabay for storage usage.
what a great prediction!
HDD has the longevity factor.....and I don't see SSD touching that, using cheap Chinese parts.
how bout now
@@dayblue4244 You can sell your laptop and HDDs to get plenty of SSD Storage
The SDD can be used for everyday use apps where as the HDD can be used for storage. :)
Who's watching this after 9 years of uploading the video
I think putting 2 SSDs on a raid stripe is about the most significant improvement you can make to most PCs. And it's pretty cheap too considering that a current gen graphics card purchase is pushing $730.
The only thing I'm concerning is the life, read/write cycles, will SSD die fast compared to traditional HDD?
Don't want a sudden death to lose all my stuffs...
dude the life of ssds are same as of hdds it can certainly hold up your data upto years and years to come.
SSD's are more reliable and have a longer life expectancy since it's not mechanical, it's like a USB key, those things never die lol (a proper quality one)
Dany NBA I've a 120gb hdd on my pc since 2005 working like 5-15 hours per day (a lot of times i don't shut down the computer at night, dowloading , rendering things etc.) and it still works perfectly...
77TheEnd77 i never said HDD's were bad, but they're mechanical so one day they WILL die, it could be after a year or after 15..
Dany NBA But after 10-15 years you probably 'll have to change it because it's gonna be obsolete. (8 years ago a 120gb was a big hdd, today a 4000gb is a big one).
Does it effects network performances also ? Like downloading and all
this video was made 7 years ago wow
What if I have both an ssd and hdd in my machine? Is it because windows was installed on the ssd?
Well I can wait extra 3 sec.
Everytime you open something, that's like 2 hours a day of waiting :D
@@BaSsGaZ no you're clearly exaggerating ha
This is not only about loading time.. with SSDs you can run almost any applications those require high performance without lag or crash issues. So those 3 secs aren't just 3✌😁
@@MetallicOpeth1 not really... its also not just 3 seconds, usually more like 20-30. There's a looot of games that have a loading screen every minute so they are basically unplayable (or just extremely annoying) apart from speed, general performance is just better too. Its much better and easier using it.
I don't think people get it the difference between the two. SSD are way faster in transfer rate and acces time, consume less power and is shock resistant. It's all electronics. A good desktop HDD have 150 MB/sec transfer rate (a lot less for laptop hdd) while a good SSD can saturate a modern sata 3 interface, about 550MB/sec read/write. Acess time for an HDD is about 12 msec in very best circonstance while SSD have typical .1 msec. Don't forget that HDD get fragmented all over the disk easily which prolongue horribly the acces time into seconds while there is files fragmentation on an ssd, it make no difference in access time. All memory cells have the same figure.
There is no comparaison, SDD are better then HDD in every way. The only hold up now is the cost of an SSD memory cell (nand) which is higher but has been fallen dramatically from the last years. So in 2 years the HDD is a dead horse for most computer except data center.
The best scenario for now is having an ssd for windows and applications with a regular hdd for data storage. However this is out of question for a laptop.
I've upgraded my laptop with an SSD and the difference is huge. Can't go back to HDD now.
***** So when downloading things off the internet like mmorpgs and stuff will the SSD get me a lot more mb/s?
Yeah, but SSD really begin to help on the slower older PC. i mean, try adding a SSD to a pentium.
Gregster427 can you recommend me a laptop for under 1500? Right now I've got my eyes on the lenovo y50 4k with a 512gb ssd and 16gb ram 860x graphics card.

@@khalilt6508 learn to understand jokes, *kid*
I did a speed difference between a 256GB SSD (7,200rpm) and a 1TB HDD (7,200rpm)
in a desktop both with i7 3rd gen, 3.25GHz (8 cores), 12GB ram
I found out that the SSD was only 1.3secs quicker,
and most of my games didn't work on the SSD
How much does the number of processor cores play into response time? Since the i5 is about $100 more than an i3, I think I might buy an i3 for a new build and use the money I'm saving to buy a SSD. I don't plan on doing any gaming or real processor-heavy tasks. Any thoughts?
Go for the i5 you will see a big difference in processing power and just save for an SSD to see an even biggeer difference!
Loading speed is probably not "CPU-limited".
In reality the difference is even bigger. And whats more: At the bootup test what you did not test is to start doing something immediately after startup. Thats where i feel the biggest advantage. On HDD even if you see the desktop it is quite a while before you actually start working. Try opening Word or a Browser and see how long it takes it to actually function normally. Its gonna be infuriatingly long. On SSD basically as soon as you can see the desktop you can start working. Open you Browser and it will start up and be operational in 1-2 seconds.
HHD for more space. I don't mind waiting another 20 secs for larger memory space.
Yea. SDD for the OS and often used program and the HDD for storage.
You can get a SSD with 500GB or more.
Alexander Hovis i dont understand, why dont you get an 120gb ssd plus keeping your old hdd? unless your on a laptop which i would use external HDD!
I did nearly exactly what kam hagh wrote. I used to have everything on my SATA HDD 1TB but i recently got me a 240 GB SDD and i created 2 partitions. 120 GB for the OS and 120 GB for Games. My SATA HDD is now used for downloads, music, backups and other stuff that doesn't need to be loaded fast.
Also i recommend installing often used programs (like if you are a webdesigner, photoshop) on the SSD OS partition.
Alexander Hovis that's gonna cost so much !
Totally worth it, when you doing multiple opperations on large files it will be snapy and you dont have to pause as much.
Folks in the comments, Ideally you want a computer with 2 drives, one SSD for windows and all your apps and one HDD for your file storage, if you have a crappy laptop that only has one drive slot then Western Digital has what you need it's a 1TB hard drive and 120GB SSD in the single enclosure and runs about 200 bucks US.
You could just use your optical bay for your hdd and the hdd bay for your ssd.
TH-cam: “ hey, we recommend this 10yr old video”
Me: sure …
I wonder if this dude is alive
I have both of them in my computer. The SSD runs the operating system to take advantage of it's speed then the HDD stores data to take advantage of it's capacity.
This video should of made it clear that they are comparing the SSD with a 5400rpm HDD which is super slow lets be honest. I upgraded to a 7200rpm drive recently and my laptop is now plenty fast enough for loading everything and very respectable boot times. So the price/speed trade off between an SSD and a 7200rpm HDD is one worth taking into account because for the price of a 120GB SSD you can get a 750GB (or more) 7200rpm HDD which is only a little slower.
My advice... wait for the SSD prices to tumble in 2014. By 2015 the prices will be perfect. But if you can't wait then 7200rpm HDD's are in the sweet spot right now.
u 4 year old pleb
Captain Falcon prices havent gone down anyways so wtv 😂
its 2019 now and nothing has changed
Anybody wanna help me figure out how SSD and HDD work *with* each other? I see alot of comments about how good they are with each other and so on and so forth! But i don’t see anyone explaining it properly? Why is SSD better than HDD in some occations and HDD better than SSD in other occasions?
SSD costs much more than HDD, so ssd for boot drive and programs used often and HDD for big files like large games or movies.
Before install make sure your computer is off and unplugged, also make sure your grounded to prevent any accidental damage.
To get both to work together, make sure the SSD is plugged into a 6Gb/s SATA port and HDD can be in either 6 or 3Gb/s. With both plugged in and powered, close up your computer and turn it on.
Once windows opens you use the search button to find "disk management". Find your new drive, probably the same name as the product number on the SSD and click "new simple volume". A wizard will open and walk you through the steps. Make sure the full space is available, it should be by default but might not be.
After installing the drive I suggest googling how to move your boot drive to the new ( probably D: ) drive. Steps can vary depending on your version of Windows.
Jared Swaluk Wow, thanks dude!
1:20 actually extra 20 seconds only
And that counts a lot!!
@@cabby4223 well yeah.. but if u were on a budget and buying a harddrive u cud buy a 1tb hdd the same price as a 250gb ssd so to me having more space is more important than those 20seconds that im wasting anyway lol

can i habe ssd pls
AssePwn no u cent cuz ets n my anel b0ss
I was hoping to find info on the X555LB model and whether you can upgrade the HDD to SSD. I found the lack of information on that model concerning, but aside, could a representative address this question?
SSD version $200 more expensive than HDD? Is this SSD made from unicorn horns or something?
SSDs used to cost a whole lot more in 2011 (the day this was posted) than they do today. Now, it's not quite as much more.
Weegee64101 how about the hdd i can buy a 1 tb toshiba for like 45$
I obtained a 256 GB SSD for $110 CAD. This video is old -- they're much cheaper now.
I just bought a 128 gb crucial mx100 ssd for $60 and last year i paid $160 for a 256gb sandisk ultra plus. If you buy an ssd just buy a reputable brand but don't buy a high end one. You won't notice a difference between a high end ssd and an entry level one.
Krevin Grard You will notice a difference, but it's negligible for the end user.
You need to disable parts on the motherboard that you aren't using. This will drastically speed up the BIOS boot up time.
Every ssd is different, motherboard/ports also play a role. From the moment I hit the power button, windows loads up in less than 10 seconds, it's blazing fkn fast. Needless to say, games load fast as hell. It's kind of pointless to get it if you play a load-once type of game like cs go or something but it's extremely good for games that require long loads or constant loading like total war series. Waiting 2 goddamn minutes for a total war load was lame, now it takes less than 15 secs.
WOW!! THATS INCREDIBLE! I DID NOT REALISE ITS THAT QUICK! THANK YOU! VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
SSD+OS, HDD+MEDIAFILES
SDD All
Very nice sir. Thanks for parallel Demo
what if a laptop has dual storage .... -.-
Whats the issue? You can have a fast boot drive, and a slower but larger and cheaper storage drive. Or two SSDs in Raid 0 for two times the speed.
When compared to a hard drive, an SSD is much faster because of the way it stores data. An ssd uses flash memory which can be accessed instantly but a Hard drive uses discs which are spun very quickly and the information is read by a needle. The way the hdd stores information is through bumps on the discs which represent 1 or 0 which is binary form
SSDs are amazing !
What was the RPM on the HDD? that has a lot to do as well... and remember also that the hdd is 640gb so the process of looking for anything would be longer since is a bigger storage unit...
for people who are deciding to get a ssd for gaming, u dont really need it. what u need is a core i5 or higher and a decent gpu/ graphics card ( i recommend nvidia gtx 980). also if u want alot of storage, go with a 1tb hard drive or more. 4 tb hard drives are reliable. never go with 3tb.

+Eli gaming lee are you ok?
This was mind blowing back in the day and it is still now.
it really is. I currently am running a hdd, so I wouldnt know how fast a ssd is. but from what ive seen and heard, the ssd is way faster. I thought my ram was the problem for my computer times, but it seems like its the drive.
As a gamer, I'd never bother with an SSD unless it were large enough to hold at least most of my games. Just having a faster booting OS is NOT worth the money, IMO.
turbofanlover get an ssd to put your OS on and keep your hdd for your games :P
Or just buy a really big ssd... but thats expensive
Kontained Khaos Yeah, like I said, it's not worth it to me to spend the money just so that Windows runs faster.....that's just not that big a deal, IMO. Now, a 500 Gig ssd WOULD be appealing to me....but, it still typically costs well over 200 bucks where I live (Canada). If and when it goes to say 100 bucks.....I'd probably grab it. :)
turbofanlover well it's not only faster boot but also very fast file transfer speeds. so if you copy something to the ssd it will be amazingly fast. (300-500 Mbps)
***** Again...that's not that important to me....if my games can't fit....it's just not worth it, IMO....until the higher capacity ssd prices drop some more.
***** Well, first of all.....you DO NOT need an ssd to be a "real gamer".....that's just dumb, dude. And, second of all, if you had read my other statements, you would likely have figured out that I would indeed consider getting a 500 gig ssd that could hold all of my games.....WHEN THE PRICE COMES DOWN SOME MORE......I have no intention of spending 200ish bucks (CDN) for an item that I do not consider to be really that big a game-changer to my overall gaming experience. But, if you have the cash and believe it's worth it at this point....go ahead.....to each his own.

Actually it can also help with things like moving big files (like 4-7GB or bigger) and also in big games that have many things to load. But anyway an HDD can get the job done well anyway.
Since a quality ssd like an evo 120gb is only about 90$ atm, i think it could certainly be a good thing to spend money on
my friend has an hdd, he has to wait like 15 minutes every time he boots his computer so he keeps it on almost 24/7.
Hjalmar Nyman he probably has a cluttered up computer, ive done some testing and my HDD boots completely in 39 seconds on average
Dany NBA only $90?? You can get 2 tb hdd for $90

Same. Hdd is more long lasting and also getting faster.
@Ipinu Yusuf they aren't even that expensive for what you get
@Ipinu Yusuf yeah, my point still stands
but what about the space limitations with the SSD? it only has 160GB right? so for someone who is looking for a gaming laptop would a SSD with 256GB be enough?
Is it true that other than the faster boot time and load time, the SSD doesn't make much a difference in the actual performance of the softwares??
bro looks like a asus employee lol, i trust him with my life
I do know that Crucial's M500 SSD is available in a 960 GB size. SSDs are a lot more expensive to manufacture, but the prices are coming down, and the capacities are increasing.
How many RPMs did the HDD have? you might have said in the video but my speakers are broke and I can't find my headphones.
Newbie question! So SSD is a lot faster loading both operating system and applications, but what about all those who use a smaller SSD (I know this vid is old, let's say 60-100GB) for running Windows and then have a larger harddrive (say 1TB) for both files and programs, games etc. Will the stuff on the harddrive also be loaded faster since the OS still runs from the SSD? If not, I better make sure to install my favorite games on the SSD I guess... But games these days take up so much space
Most people don't install more than 100 GB of files onto the SSD. Usually only the OS and large programs/games are loaded... with smaller files like documents there's not really a performance increase, so extra space isn't needed for that.
Why did I watch till the end when I have M.2 drives in my system?
it depends the game. several games are using permanent disk-reading access, for example Arma 2.
I have an i7 HP Laptop, with a 1 TB HDD, Windows 10. Boot up time is roughly
Yeah, SSDs have got some tricks up their sleeves, while HDDs are stuck with that hand which can click at any given time. I'd rather spend the extra for a faster 256 GB SSD than to have storage at the expense of speed. And defragmentation is no longer a deal on SSDs.
i got a new laptop with just a tb hdd, but with a free slot for adding another drive. when that time comes, the ssds will have better storage and of course cheaper too. if video editing and heavy processing was a regular thing, it would be different. depends on useage...
So I got hard drive for gaming instead of an ssd as I needed space and didn’t care about waiting a minute longer for more games was I wrong to do that
Hi Asus NA. I would like to correspond with you about an issue I am having. it seems my hard drive is suffering due to me getting emotional. it was working very super fast and speedy until I damaged it. I tried fixing the head off of the platter which it was stuck I've run test and the arm would not go back and forth now would my asus start at all just booting noises. what should I do?
So how much was the rpm on that hdd on? Because even for a clean installed os, that hdd seemed slow...
Is it the same, using an external HDD to compensate for the low storage of the SSD?
Hello,
Thanks a lot for your information!
Will be interesting to know the differences between the SSD manufactures. Which one is better or they have no any quality differences without the capacity.
Good lucks to YOU!
