I just started as an IT person about 3 months ago. As I've needed to work on computers I advocate for upgrading to SSD drives. So far I've upgraded about 6 computers. And each person has been blown away by how much faster their computer is. One person told me she didn't mind the delays because they gave her time to do other things. Once I upgraded her computer she was blown away by how much difference it made.
@@tylermcnally8232 I handle these upgrades when someone is out of the office. I also use Samsung SSD drives because their migration tool makes it quick and easy.
I do hope we will not lose anything by switching from HDD to SSD. I mean I used HDD since about 2009. I never found it bothers me although there were times when the startup and shutdown take a long time and games load slowly but other than that I didn't find anything wrong with it. I was told since last year that my PC needs to update from HDD to SSD because it works too slow. I used to go drink some water before the upgrade and now that's practically impossible! XD
Especially with gaming. I used to have games on a HDD, one of them took me 30 minutes to load it up and when i put it on the SSD it was less than 5 minutes
I just got a new 480gb ssd installed in my laptop and the difference it made genuinely blew me away. I had already expected a HUGE upgrade in speed and yet the difference in speed was so drastic its blew me away anyway
HDD simply gives users the opportunity to reflect on their lives a little: "why did I turn on the PC? and what could I do useful, hmm. no, probably the best thing is to go to work and develop"
It's well worth it, my first laptop had an HDD but in time I swapped it out for an SSD. That was the best upgrade I could make, and I never would change back, since if I did ever need the extra storage (the only advantage HDDs really still have) ever I would just get something external for storage.
A few weeks ago I got an expensive gaming PC with a fast SSD and I got very surprised by how fast it turned on, around 15 seconds to get to the login screen. Most games take like, 1 or 2 seconds to open and the loading screens are way shorter.
Explains why Task Manager rises to 100% on CPU when on an SSD. The data provided is so slow in a HDD the CPU always idles and its the HDD which has the "100%" load
@@pedrosilvaproductions I gave my father my nine-year-old laptop. Well 7 years old at the time. I put in a 250 gig Samsung solid-state and put Windows 10 on it. It boots in about 13 seconds. Not bad for a core 2 duo and 6 gigabytes of RAM.
@@Nakall I know! I also have an old samsung laptop which I use for office and youtube stuff, has a dual core pentium and 8 gigs of ram (upgraded from 4), put an SSD runs like a dream. It's not powerful by any means, but it's good enough for basic using
@arab guy no it doesnt render anything faster. Might load faster. Because of read Times. What makes rendering faster is the cpu. And yes I would say get a small ssd for Windows and a bigger hdd too
Or get a large SSD and spend money on a NAS for storage. I for one will never buy a computer with a spindle drive as a primary drive again. you can get a 1 terabyte SSD for around $100 that is more than enough storage for most games. And there are plenty of videos out there that show that loading times improve with Solid State drives.
I actually legit thought this when my laptop broke (had ssd) and got a new one and it had a hdd in it... Don’t really regret the laptop, just regret not having asked to immediately upgrade it to a ssd😂😂
My school has PCs that sometimes take 3 minutes to turn on and sometimes take like 10 minutes to turn on. We don’t even have i5 or i3. We have god damn pentium 2 core processors.
I remember first booting up my new computer, I went from a weak i5, 8gb of ram and an HDD to a brand new i7, 16gb of ram and a NVME m.2, on a new motherboard, man that thing booted fast as hell compared to my old computer
Eu fiz em um Notebook I3 com 4GB ram. Troquei o HD por SSD e botei mais 8GB totalizando 12GB. A diferença foi tanta que até jogos rodaram nele. Placa de video Intel Graphics 620 e consegui rodar GTA V nele.. ajeitando as configurações, mas rodou bem.
Me (in my teens in early 2000s) when I used to get an hour of game time after school on a Pentium II PC, I was actually getting a net playtime of 40 mins. 🙏🏼
Oh my god I know your burden. And then mom was always pissed when you whinged "An hour is plenty of time to play your stupid gameboy!" "Fourty minutes of it is spent getting the damn game loading!" And then, yeah, calling anything with a game on it a "gameboy".
Believe me or not, but what am I saying is the truth. I installed Windows 10 on my 19 years old PC (I think it's hard drive is of the year 2010), it takes 4 seconds to boot, and then it takes 10 seconds to come on desktop after password. It has a single core 1.6GHz processor, 1.5GB RAM, 72GB HDD (I don't know it's RPM).
Yea, my sometimes doesn't even turn on for some reason, so if it doesn't I wait a minute and then go try it again Edit:I think it's bc of the poor cooling system
Recently got myself an NVMe SSD with 3500 MB/s datafrequency. Computer boots up in like 3-5 seconds. Much better compared to my very old HHD that took 25-30 minutes
I've seen a lot of things of HDDs holding more storage capacity compared to SSDs. SSDs are fast but don't have the ability to hold as much as an HDD. It's really your choice over speed or storage.
You’re not wrong, but also not entirely right. SSDs can hold just as much data as an HDD, but SSDs are much more expensive compared to HDDs. So if you only have a fixed budget you can spend on storage, you’re truly choosing between speed or storage.
And there is a ability nowadays you can get 2 tb ssd (I know it's expensive because it's fastest than all other storage ) but it has a ability to do both
But we are in 2019. Who tf need hdd i mean yes i have 120gb ssd and 750gb hdd but its so shit to install the games on hdd. So when u build a pc be sure to get a minimum of 500gb for ssd and if you want a hdd
When it comes to large scale use, HDD is a key player in big data, log processing and many such use cases which has a high streaming I/O. But for personal use, SSD recommended no doubt.
@@randomthings_india "going full SSD" was probably over-egging the pudding, and of course for huge datasets HDDs are the only viable option, but all the big players do allow premium SSD and SSD nowadays (m.2 and SATA respectively?)
HDD with HDDCache-RAM in 1-3 GB faster HDD without HDDCache-RAM, but below speed SSD. Try 3rd device for compare. Жесткий диск с HDDCache-RAM на 1-3 ГБ быстрее HDD без HDDCache-RAM, но ниже скорости SSD. Попробуйте 3-е устройство для сравнения.
I literally used to move away from my laptop for 10-12 mins before it would be done loading Win 10. Bought SSD yesterday after HDD got fried. So, still in awe how good it is.
Yes man, so true. I would also just go and do something else for 3-6 minutes until my laptop got done loading windows, then when i switched to an ssd i was astounded by how it would start in 30 seconds or less
@@andreabuon *I just did my research about it, and I'm starting to think that my HDD is somewhat special, because even with fast start up ON it should take at least 45 seconds, wth?* *(And no, I'm sure I don't have an SSD, because it has 1TB of storage and it was cheap)*
I would choose an HDD for long term reliability. I used to run a multimedia player via a USB stick, after a few weeks the constant reads/writes started producing errors, converted to an external HDD and haven't had any problems since.
My computer used to boot for 2mins with an HDD, and everything was slow and shit and playing games literally made the computer bluescreen (that's why you don't put 50 games with requirements from 2018 in a computer from 2011)
Fresh clean install only, if you have some relatevly complex and huge software packages installed like office/CAD/CC it will be same painfully slow as shown. Just because it will bloats file system to the same level by number of files and folders.
Dude, if u change your HDD to modern HDD - that will be huge difference too. Budget SSD even slower then not expensive HDD. Just go and check specs on any market
ive kept a pre-built computer since 2019 that had a boot time of over 30 minutes with a WD HDD. used it during covid for meetings, and i couldn't get it to boot on time, so i missed half of my first class. switched to a 980 pro and it's booting in around 40 seconds. good stuff
@@zloymish I couldn't sleep early enough to wake up earlier. My dad made me work from the time school ended to midnight, and I spent time after that doing my assigned homework. I couldn't get enough sleep, so I just slept until 8
