SSD vs HHD

the title... ssd vs hhd. sometimes people dont bother to read farther

 

I'd give it another year or two and we won't see HDD's in new computers. Most new gaming laptops have gone completely SSD this year.

 

Oh...yea thats how it works.

 

No need for and HDD anymore. They are way too slow. The cost of solid state drives have gone down enough now that they are affordable.

 

The SSD you have is way smaller than I like. I have a 500GB SSD
for all my software and a 16TB HDD for all my shows and movies and such.

I'd never go below a 480GB SSD now. I had a 120GB SSD in my last computer
and it was absolutely too small; and I'm not even a gamer. Never again.
I replaced it with a 1TB SSD, which was much better.

 

Depends how much software you download. I don't download movies or shows anymore. Didn't think many people do that anymore since we all have streaming services now. If I did have a ton of movies or music I'd use a cloud storage solution. When I built this machine now I put in 500GB and it's plenty for me. Still have 374GB free and this build is 2 years old.

 

Winner winner chicken dinner.

IMO anything below 500GB is useless for gaming nowadays. A lot of games are over 100GB. I think the new COD modern warfare is over 200GB

 

Maybe this is a data problem that isn't related to access or anything. I'm not a specialist, so I can't help you with that, unfortunately. However, one of the best solutions for you would be to look into the RAID DATA RECOVERY.

 

I have seen a lot of people having this issue or this wonder. I think you should place every file wherever you want, but I'm not one hundred percent sure.

 

Thanks to this thread I've now updated my own ide 80Gb junker to a 256 Gb SDD,
bootime is a lot lot lot faster but that seems all
I prefer small hard drives as my main on the pc as it encourages me to keep it very clean
besides the Anti Vir runs much much faster
but I'll still keep my 'manual' swap file ...lol

I'm thinking of connecting my old hard drives up running of an old power supply as seed germ warmers?

 

Yeah your CPU/GPU/RAM are likely the bottleneck now.

 

not in the slightest but thanks for your 'care'

 

Then whats the bottleneck? Internet speed? To many boobs?

 

what is boob?

 

Eventually I'd really like to get a 4TB SSD or bigger and mostly just use that one drive. In the future HDDs are dead to me, unless I just needed storage for a bunch of 4k pics or something where speed isn't an issue. In which case an external drive could work just fine. SSDs are absolutely the future. It's like going from VHS to DVD, maybe even jumping straight to blueray.

 

Yeah still $450 for a 4tb ssd. Pricey.
