i still use HDDs i don't see the point of SSDs
>>109918566It goes FASTER!!!
Switched to SSD because my Samsung HDD caught on fire and erased my 5 years worth of documents
>>109918571Seriously though, if you're time is valuable, you don't want to sit around waiting for a HDD to load, you'll be old and grey by the time you get your data.
>>109918572>/g/>doesn't keep a backup
>>109918566I can transfer onto my ssd 100gb of data in under a minute, can you?
>>109918566HDDs are fine for mass storage. Cheap too. Put them in Raid setup and you not only have storage, you have reliable backups in case one of your drives fails.
>>109918584why would i need to do that
>>109918589but if you want performance, get the ssd. It depends on your needs.
>>109918581the point was HDDs are litaral ticking bombs dough
>>109918604so are SSDs
>>109918598Because I don't have EIGHT hours to sit around and transfer my storage drive onto external offline storage.
>>109918608how often are you doing that? have it do it while you're asleep
>>109918604oh fuck off, they are not.
>>109918617Missing the point. I don't want to schedule my day around my downloads.

>>109918598Faster throughput speeds under heavy loads mean less bottlenecks making multi tasking way better on an ssd. Put an hdd under heavy load and the system will slow down rapidly.
>>109918579>if you're timethis seems like a gross misunderstanding of what space-time means
>>109919009I am the center of the universe, faggot
>>109918619One time my hdd exploded and the platters cut through my chinesium case and sliced my penis off.
>>109919043for free???
>>109919051plus tip
SSDs just seem like a failed design compared to HDDs if writes kill them.
>>109918650The catch with open world slop is that it loads once and then mostly sits in ram anyway, so it's not really a problem unless you work 2 jobs and have 3 kids leaving you with 27 minutes of free time a day.But yes, some are optimized for SSDs, and some are just so poorly optimized they shit themselves without one, so it's good to have at least a small SSD for those. And the OS, of course.
>>109918566Is fast, nigger
>>109918566that's because you haven't used one yet. i wasn't immediately convinced to begin with either... but i'm not going back to use hdd's for anything but backups and media, fuck that
>>109918566my friend does this and I'm fucking tired of having to wait literally 20 minutes for him to load up a video game we're gonna play together
>>109918604SSDs don't retain data if unpowered for over a year.
>>109918566Pure Speed = Choose SSDCheap Capacity = Choose HDDNo point in buying anything now thanks to AI price inflation though.
