More like oranges to limes you illiterate shit

>>59522533
That's active power. The rotating magnet in an HDD also draws a lot more reactive power.

>Laptops

Anyway,OP is a fag and the biggest boon of an SSD in a laptop is the lack of mechanical parts, aside from the decreased access times and throughput allowing it to be in lower powerstates for longer anyway.

is this faggot retarded?

>>59522995
Why wouldn't you use 2.5" SSD when it's still the most common form factor?

>>59523003
Not for every drive. I snatched a server drive for my work PC and even when I have an SSD, sometimes it starts spinning up and the active app freezes for 15 seconds.

>>59523008
because 2,5" form factor is a pure waste of space.

>>59522533

SSD's aren't less power hungry. That was known by the general public as soon as the first SSDs were released.

SSDs were never marketed as an improvement in power consumption over HDDs.

>>59523017
we are talking about standard 2,5" drives
Server drives are NOT designed to enter sleep mode. This kills these drives.

>>59523029
>SSD's aren't less power hungry.
Why don't they still use HDDs in music players then?

>>59523030
Well, I don't know why it behaves like that.

>>59523042
I just told you why. Server drives are supposed to be always spinning.

>>59523021
It's a waste of space not to use it when space has been allocated for it already in the device.

Not using a 2.5" drive in a laptop that supports it is incredibly wasteful.

>>59523021
what happens when an older laptop with only a 2.5inch sata hole needs a new storage device because the old mechanical piece of shit in it died?

>>59523038
Cost.

Idle and standby power of SSDs is far lower, if you're running the SSD 100%, then yes, then it uses more power, but it also gets the job done dozens of time faster so it goes back to standby sooner.

hang yourself, OP.

They were shit, what's your point?

>>59524673
That you're a retard. Wasn't it obvious when I called you a retard or are you too retarded to realize it?

>>59524673
While youre right, they were shit, they still were around

Portable kasette players were much, much better imo.

>>59522533
SSDs are better on laptops since they don't have moving parts your fucking stupidity makes me wanna smoke a big fucking blunt and watch anime jesus fucking christ your smugness and shiposting are fucking bad mate go jump off a cliff and get rabies from making out with a dog you fucking faggot kill yourself

>>59522533
Bit misleading.

For HDD the voltage changes between idle and load. 5v for idle and 12v for load. Amperage is roughly similar at around 0.5A. So idle HDD would be at around 2.5-2.75w depending on fluctuation. On load it would be around 6w. That's limited to about 100-150MBps. 25 MBps/watt

Meanwhile on SSD, idle is so low at sub 500 mW. While load could use max of 7.5 watts. These goes around 550 MBps. 73 MBps/watt

SSD is roughly 3x more battery/energy efficient.

>giving a fuck about a 5W difference

>defending information that isn't even true

>>59524839
You're thinking of a desktop HDD you idiot

>>59522958
this
>tfw my cpu draws over 100watts at idle

>>59526615
I google searched the specific drives mentioned by OP. The WD Scorpio Black 500 GB model does ~80MBps. Idles at about 850 mW and consumes about 2.5 w during read/writes. The Samsung 850 does about ~500 MBps. Idles at ~25 (not 250, 25) mW. Uses <2 w on writes.

My point still stands. Its now ~6x more energy efficient instead of 3x.

>>59526801
At those levels of power consumption

>>59527207
It's basically negligable. Laptops tend to have batteries ~50w, 800mW is nothing.

>>59527207

We need to look at "normal use" power consumption. The extreme use case is stupid.

>>59524695
if you listened to shit jogging, cassettes were better, If you just needed a music player that could be taken on the go and set up somewhere stable, portable cd was better.

>>59527223
that little bit adds up, also ssds for boot anything just for quality of life, mass storage is for hdds, and if your laptop doesn't have 2 drives bays you fucekd up in your choices.

>>59527756
that kinda defeats the purpose of a portable player though, having to be completely still

Just get a damn boombox in that case, even sounds good, and you can have it on your shoulder looking stylish or something

>>59524472
Not him, but you'll be surprised. Assuming both doesn't use any proper external multimeter, samsung still draw more.
