>mechanical hard drives on consumer laptops in 2017 why

>>60677190
Normies can't into limited disk space, or expensive storage.

>>60677261
emmc storage is cheap and normies do fine with 32 gb or less on their phones which they're replacing their laptops with btw

>>60677190
Because of macfags that look at computer specs and go

>3.0 GHz processor
>500 GB storage
>Looks bretty gud m8

>>60677461
except they're all shipping with 1-2ghz dual/quad core and 1tb these days...

i don't buy any of the logic. i smell a rat.

>mfw got a laptop on the cheap and stripped it of it's drive

currently looking through with easeus recovery wizard. Will post if I find something intresting

>>60677190
Because some want storage space instead of speed.

>>60678337
then get an sd card

>>60678586
A 1TB one?

>>60677190

Its cheaper. Why the fuck would a consumer level laptop have anything above the bare minimum? Why would some $400 Winshit laptop have PCIe M.2 SSDs in RAID? A decent 7200 RPM drive and enough RAM is more than enough performance-wise for the average normie.

>>60677190
Have you seen a normie's download folder? They don't delete anything. Storage space > speed.

>>60677190
Instead of grossly overcharging for cheaply sourced ssds they slap in a hdd you can repalce with whatever sdd you like and still be cheaper off with a portable hdd to spare.

Tell me how this is bad?

>>60677190
Whats wrong with mechanical hard drives?

Because they break more often? What would be better? A hybrid?

>>60678633
SanDisk sells 512 GB ones, and they have a 1 TB prototype.

Is emmc storage cancer? I'm looking for a comfy 11 incher for college. No second hand shit.

>>60678708
And how much do they cost, as much as the laptop?

>>60678633
Get two of these:
