ok

B-b-but 5400RPM is a-all you n-need

This is a terrible shitpost.

Mods?

Why do people still waste time on video games as adults?

>the most cost-effective
But this is untrue. You can get a 1TB HDD for less than half the price of a 256GB SSD.

You can only store one quarter of the anime for twice the price, and the anime doesn't even play any faster

>>61625973
Who cares what Luddites think?

They're decent for short-term plans that require a lot of data flowing in and out (e.g. seedbox), but even for gayming they aren't necessary, and definitely don't use an SSD for anything long-term (e.g. backup server)

SSDs are a good meme, but still a meme. Get over it.

>not buying one of each
SSD: OS, most programs, scratch disk for projects
HDD: anything else

>>61627247
don't replace your hdd with an ssd, add an ssd to your system, you dumb piece of shit.

>>61625973
SSDs are excellent. The only downside is their relatively shorter lifespan. Just gotta get a samsung 850 evo with that 5 year warranty. I keep all of my important files on a second HDD and run all of my programs/OS on the SSD

>their relatively shorter lifespan

rocking my 120gb Crucial for almost 5 years
it still reads as GOOD HEALTH

>>61627247
Who the fuck only has one drive? You never put personal data in the same place as root you dumb shit.

>>61627806
Unless you write literally terrabytes worth of data a day. The lifespan of an SSD is not an issue

I always thought SSDs were a meme, but I recently bought an m.2 drive in my first build.

Temps aside, this thing fucking rocks for more than just boot times. Feels good.

An SSD:
+ Won't fail from vibrations
+ Doesn't have mechanical moving parts which can fail
+ Has more accurate lifespan estimation
+ Is faster
+ Can hoard more data in the future for cheaper price unless HDD platters get another technological upgrade to their material and data inscription methods

- Will get fucked by an electrical failure or instability, whether caused by itself, or as a side-effect of other hardware failures via the board, which can wipe and corrupt all data
- Will get fucked by firmware failure, bug, or intrusion, which has a high chance of making retrieval impossible
- Will get fucked by the chip control failing in a way that's hard to fix and which has a high chance of making data retrieval impossible

An HDD:
+ Won't fail from firmware because firmware is irrelevant
+ Won't fail from electrical failure because that only translates to mechanical parts failing while data already inscribed on the platter is retrievable
+ Due to lower speeds, any registered ongoing intrusions or data corruption can be mended, even if partially, making at least part of the data retrievable
+ Data lasts much longer in case of off-line storage, if HDD is kept in plastic containers away from moisture and high temperatures

- Mechanical parts can fail due to various reasons, like vibration, but data from the platters is at least retrievable
- Speeds will always be lacking compared to SSDs
- Price-per-1GB will be higher than SSDs in the future unless HDD platters evolve again
- Can't monitor and estimate lifespan accurately

Smart people use both for specific tasks where their strengths apply and weaknesses are offset.
Retards think one can replace the other.

Don't be an underage retard.

I would also add that the read speed on an SSD varies based on how much is actually on it. IIRC it is actually slower read speed if you have nothing on it than if it was half full. It's hard to say if that's a pro or con.

Also you mention the cost per GB will be higher in the future, but that really is a pro for the HDD at the moment, considering that HDDs are currently around 10x cheaper for the same memory (considering 1tb hdd is $50, 256gb ssd is $100). With that in mind, it's much more cost effective to set up backup RAID systems with an HDD than it is to rely on an SSDs to not fail due to lack of a write arm.

Also it should be mentioned that HDDs generate heat and can damage themselves due to that (plus if you are using a laptop, it can add to the heat on the bottom of the machine considerably). HDDs are also sensitive to magnets, whereas SSDs don't have that problem, which could be a plus or minus if you were keeping an electromagnetic bar on hand for when the fbi raid your loli infested and cum crusted home.

If they were half as expensive, they'd be worth it on a laptop.

>>61627762
Who said anything about only one drive? If you fill up one drive with anime and need to get a new one, why wouldn't you get the one with an 8 times greater cost:space ratio?

What has been stopping me from buying one is that my current laptop still has SATA I with 1.5Gb/s speeds. My HDD can reach 105 MB/s of write speed, buying an SSD won't feel much of an upgrade, more like a waste of money.
