Get me a 1tb ssd for 150 euros and ill swap

>>56230325
but ssds are physically smaller

>>56230253

I have about 120TB of data that I have to backup.

>>56230253
Price:performance in terms of storage needs.
Simply put, that's my reason.
I don't want to pay out £500 for a 2TB SSD (Samsung 850 EVO, £700 for the PRO) when I can pay £80 for 3TB on a fair HDD.

SSD is a meme.

>>56230342

You know he means bytes per dollar, but I'll play into your troll and say, "Of course, I get a physically larger disk for less money."

>>56230253
Because I don't want my data to be corrupted after 5 years of not plugging the SSD.

>>56230253
poorfag here. I have a SSD, but i store most all of my files on a HDD.

>>56230325
This

>>56230356
Yes and no. Anything larger than 256GB for OS & programs, perhaps a few games? Meme.
512GB can be useful for a steam library if you really wanted to do that, but I'd say that's the biggest you could possibly need for that.
Hell, even 256GB dedicated purely to games would be plenty for most.

Outside of some users such as Netflix or YouTube, having masses upon masses of SSD storage is the biggest meme ever.
Outside of YouTube companies like Linus Tech, anything even close to 10 SSD's is a hardcore fucking meme.
LTT only gets away with an SSD server because they produce a lot of videos they constantly want to scrub through and SSD's save time in that regard.
Whether their content is WORTH the effort is subjective. Whether the SSD farm HELPS them is objective.

SSD = meme storage

Stop fucking changing your name you cunt. I'm REALLY FUCKING TIRED OF HAVING TO FUCKING ADD TO MY FILTER.

>>56230253
Cost is the only legit reason. Despite that hard drives are disadvantageous in every single way. Once SSDs are cheaper which will eventually happen, hard drives are dead. Probably way earlier as SSDs are a lot more reliable, more energy efficient and simpler to handle.

Cost per gig, ssds lose
Mechanical drives last longer
Mechanical drives come in larger capacities

Checkmate

Price to storage still isn't where I want it to justify using them, right now their best use is still basically OS booting. Give me something that's a TB or higher for around $100-$150 and I'd consider a switch.

>>56230466
Is it a meme because if the price/size when greater than 512gb?

Because ssd data dissipates if I decide to turn my pc off for a month the HDD will have all the data it had when I turned it off. Not the same case with the ssd since almost everything will be gone

What happens if you RAID a SSD?

>>56232615
it would be extremely painful

Because you always do the opposite of what /g/ says.

SSD for OS
HDD for storage/backups

Bitch my Steam library is 6TB and I barely installed 10% of what I bought. Just because you game like a pleb it doesn't mean that everybody else does the same.

hahahaha no
most games today are normally 40-50GB in size. factor in that you need to sacrifice about 10-15% of your SSD for over-provisioning, 256GB becomes the minimum.

I have, i made the jump to PCIe.

Not keeping terabytes of spaces really makes you examine what kind of stuff you wish to keep.

BREHS

1tb ssds are approaching the $200 mark

The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

>>56233897
nigga, being an enthusiast means staying ahead of the curve, sata ssds are mainstream shit now.
PCIe SSDs are where its at.

>>56230511
>are disadvantageous in every single way
One disadvantage is that you can't leave an SSD without power for extremely long stretches of time, so SSDs are garbage for archival purposes. Another downside is that there are telltale signs an HDD is failing so you have time to move your data if you are not mirroring it, without monitoring your SSD there are no tale tale signs the SSD is dying and it will just go in an instant.

These are two disadvantages of SSDs to factor in beyond cost.

>>56234077
Both SSDs and HDDs can fail unexpectedly and without warning

What about SSHD like Firecuda?

>>56230253
Already there. I will never buy another machine for personal use that doesn't have a solid state for the boot drive.

NVMe aren't much more expensive than SATA.

Expensive as fuck in my country.

>>56234309
only double the price, yeah that isnt much more expensive

>>56230253
Because, currently, my HDDs still work. When SSDs are cheaper and larger in average capacity, I will purchase several.

Long term data storage. Flash is only rated to retain data for ~6 months when the drive isn't powered.

I have a 3 Tb HDD it commues less power than 3 or 4 SSD's also prices are unreasonably high here in NZ thanks to Yank dollars.

not paying 2000 NZD for somthing like the equilent of 3TB SSD for something I can get for $175 NZD in a HDD

>>56234855

SDD means "Slower Data Drive", so why would you even bother with them?

>>56230253

Two 2tb HDDs in RAID 1 is still way cheaper (and more safe) than one 2tb SSD array.

My boot drives are SSD and the performance is dank but storage will continue to be dinosaur magnets for the time being

Boot time is actually worse than a sata ssd since you have to wait for pci bus to be ready but honestly I reboot like twice a year
