@@MohitSharma-so9st yea, cause everyone got 1000$ to waste on drives. Like with that money you could get a pc. (not now because of the shortages but still)
I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but in case you're not, here goes! Replacing the hdd on an older computer really won't do as much for you, because the rest of the system still can't process the information quickly, no matter how quickly the hard drive(whatever kind it is) can deliver it. SSDs are important nowadays, because the rest of the system can handle data significantly faster than HDDs can hand it out, modern SSDs are now significantly faster than the computers that house them, with the only advances now being capacity and durability. Also, the speed of your programs, once launched, will still be limited to the number crunching power of your CPU, they'll just be launched much faster with an SSD. The SIZE of all running programs will still be limited by your amount of RAM(RAM speed has surprisingly little effect on pc performance), you'll just be able to populate that RAM with data much more quickly from an SSD. Smoothness of visuals will still be limited by the power of your graphics and central processors, but games and videos will launch, load, and save much more quickly with an SSD. There's a LOT more to it than, "the industry has been screwing us for years".
That's not really true at all. Many old laptops had incredibly slow 5400RPM or lower HDDs and replacement with an SSD can breathe new life into them. Old desktops also had slower HDDs, MUCH slower when it comes to non-sequential access, like an order of magnitude slower. Today is not like 15 years ago. Ten years ago Intel released Core 2 Duo and practically any dual core processor based system, besides the ultra low power variants used in low end mobile computing, are going to benefit from a modern SSD, providing they at least have SATA even if it's SATA I, or have a multi-lane PCIe SATA controller card added if PCIe 1. As for the speed of your programs, most things done on the typical PC besides gaming or video encoding, do not put much of a load on the CPU. The average 10 year old system probably averages under 10% CPU utilization, let alone something newer. Granted that is only an average but for momentary purposes it only needs to keep up with realtime activities like video playback, something that's been offloaded to GPU for around 10 years too if you ignore the sluggish intel integrated video from a few years past. It is true that the industry hasn't been screwing us for years. For years there were SSD available already, but we had to wait for SATA standards to mature to be fast enough, for flash chip process size to shrink again and again to bring capacity down to an affordable level, and for SSD controller tech to mature.
Yeah, we're on the same page about most of this I think. I'd estimate that the average pc made before about year 2005 won't show any significant difference between a MODERN HDD and a top of the line SSD though(which was my original point). Your CPU load estimates are pretty inacurate I'd say, considering that Core2 CPUs came out in 2006, and the very best of those are rapidly approaching unusability with modern programs, spending the majority of their time above 50% load with anything more taxing than checking email and Craigslist(I know a lot of old people). A decent modern PC with that old 5400RPM HDD will be WORLDS more useful than a 2006 PC, with a dual-core, 4GB of DDR2, a GeForce 6600 GT and the worlds fastest modern SSD.
I'd rather you'd buy some more RAM or an SSD because their write speeds are faster than ever and their SOOOO cheap nowadays but If you don't want to just install Avast or any other antivirus they remove crap from your computer so you can stick with a HDD

Laptops also benefit from longer battery run times as SSDs use less power than an HDD. Once you go SSD as your boot, you really don't want to go back
Just wanted to say thank you. This is a great real world presentation on the differences between the 3 drives. Lots of people in the comments obviously didn't get the point of this video. Cheers man and thanks for the time you spent setting this up. One question. Did you use a kvm
im sorry but those were not 3 seconds and even if they were, 3 seconds on absolutely everything really add up - especially if u are a tiltable gamer , those 3 secs might save your computer xD
Pretty impressed by the hybrid drive, it's not a bad little bit of kit. Normal day to day use, it's great idea if you're building a budget pc but need the space.
Seems to me the hybrid is only slightly slower then the ssd for the price it seems thats the way to go because you can get a lot more storage for a lower price.
+Littlefabio Hybrid I believe is always the best option unless you are completely comp.. clumsy! I mean then you wouldn't need the faster flash memory of the hybrid anyway if that was the case. This is a bit old, and the RPM of the HDD is 5400RPM which is average but there are 7200s which go fair bit faster... That being said with 16Mb cache which is actually quite good it helps speed things along, especially ONCE IT GETS RUNNING. Having high cache and a 7200 RPM is still quite good especially if there is no option for a custom made laptop like in my case since I only have 5 - 6 Business days left before I leave... or if custom made is too pricey...
haha yes, at least the model I had in my laptop was super slow. I actually read up on that model and it seemed to be a common issue with poor performance. I actually just put in a Samsung 750 and it is very impressive with its responsiveness. I find it seems to be performing better than my 840 I bought years ago for my desktop.
Having used an hybrid for about 2 years now, I can confirm that it doesn't make much difference. Those computers in the video are freshly formatted with Windows probably not even updated. After a couple months of normal use, it gets much slower (5+ min to boot and be able to do something with the computer) where with an SSD, the boot is still less than 30 seconds.
I have one myself and the first boot times were about the same as my last hard drive (seagate barracuda) but after a few weeks of boots it its quite fast still not fast as an ssd but pretty close, now ssd prices are way cheaper so a hybrid is pointless now, you can get a 500gb samsung 850 evo for $150 now, thats enough space to get most people by. or you can go the mainstream route and get a 250 gig 850 evo for $75 for a boot drive and use your current hard drive lol
yea to me its not worth it now. if you install your os and have some small programs such as web browsers, everything becomes much more responsive because there is a much faster reads and writes for everything on the drive rather than a faster boot time which my pc is running mostly 24/7. if you save a little more for a 500gb ssd, even a lesser quality ssd of the 850 evo something like an Adata 512gb going for $120 will outperform a hybrid even in boot times not to mention indexing and accessing files. Its really just my opinion though and I know some people don't really mind having a mechanical drive and yea mechanical and hybrid drives are a really good value.
HDD: slow but good number of size Hybrid: Slightly faster than HDD. much slightly expensive than HDD SSD: Faster than all Hard Drives. good luck with the price.
i just bought and now waiting for my new laptop, it has a 1TB SSHD 8GB SSD cache, i have taken my 256SSD out my old one and will add it,, . i will stick my software and a few games on the 256 but not sure if it's worth changing the OS?. as the specs. say it's on an *GB SSD cache anyway.. thanks
Yeah, an SSD will usually have a longer lifespan unless you're a business that constantly writes to it. SSDs usually only die because of hitting their write limit and that's usually not for a very long time.
Kellin Quinn my first ssd die after 1 year and few month, my secont ssd die after 2 years my 7200 hd never die and is still in use for more than 5 years. Ssd is just useless.
Cédric Yvon i had a ssd ADATA 32gb and it works about 1 year, the ssd are really fast but not trustable, i have hybrids right now and one ssd kingstone 120gb, will see how long it works
+snowiblind Rightly so. I think it's hilarious how much longer the HDD takes to load. They're basically inferior to SSD's in every way except price. (for now)
+APPLBL00M consumer grade for sure. im running two 7 year old 10k WD velociraptors and they are faster than a single 600gb ssd. but... they were $300 each 7 years ago for the 300gb version.
wait that's a 5400 RPM HDD. who the fuck uses that in anything but older laptops? It should be redone with a 7200 RPM HDD. that's what most of us Desktop users are going to have and use. I know the SSD will cream it but still
Be careful! If you write to an SSD a lot it can die pretty quickly too! Bear that in mind. SSDs should be used for reading operations mostly, such as an OS installation, some games (a big deal of them don't really benefit from an SSD) and software in general. For massive storage that you won't really access all the time (movies, music, videos), the HDD is still the way to go. What you could do is configure an SSD to cache a HDD with intel SRT to create a hybrid drive with all the performance of your SSD with as much storage as you want from the HDD. Sounded like a pretty interesting solution to me. I still want to do some more research on all this, and if it's generally better to use an SSD and a HDD separately, if it's better to cache the HDD with the SSD, if it's better to do both or just buy an SSHD. Since I currently have money for neither of those options, I'm not really worried. Hahahah. But it is nice to learn new stuff.
40 seconds, everyday, lets say for 3 years = 730hours, that's 30.41 days of waiting. If you work, how much money could you make in 730 hours? Could you have used a tiny portion of that money towards a higher priced SSD? I'd hope so. :)
No, that's not how math works. It's 730 minutes, which is 12.17 hours, which is around half a day. Not even close. (40*365*3 = 43800 => 43800/60 = 730 minutes => 730/60 = 12.17 hours)
the time the SSD saves you now, you spent later in fixing all your lost work, because it decided to be 8MB large or simply not read properly anymore. SSD's are awesome, as long as they work. Dont put them into hybernation and DONT EVER cut the power abruptly or you pay for it dearly. SSD's are tough when you "baby" them.
Gotta say, after owning and using a Crucial MX100 CT512 for 6 months, and having (on multiple occasions) cut power to the PC, nothing bad has happened to the drive or the operating system installed on it... SSDs are getting incredibly reliable for the day-to-day demands of even enthusiasts, and not having to wait a whole solid minute before the login screen /even shows up/ (not to mention the many minutes after you login waiting for the system files to load) really does add up over the years you're going to be using that thing. I'm sorry sir, but I disagree with you on your assessment.
LimitAtInfinity Well, not to be rude, but 6 months is not enough to give you the baseline to an opinion. I have owned SSD's over years and I have gone through half a dozen. The last one that broke indeed lasted 2 years and was a crucial SSD. There are VERY reliable SSD's, yes. But the same thing applies to all of them. POWER the PC down properly, don't cut the power. Hibernation is fixed afaik. My Laptop is 3 years old with an SSD in it and it works 99% great. I own almost 2 dozen HDs and only one ever failed me....in 15 years.... . So yeah HD's still out last SSD's. All I am saying, don't trust your most important data to them. Booting and OS operations are bad ass.
abirneji yes, don't hold the power button to shut the PC or laptop off, don't take the power off or you WILL hurt the SSD. Sleep mode is fine. All manufacturers have fixed their SSD's afaik.
oBseSsIoNPC well I doubt Ill need to since it turns off so fast but sometimes it crashes mid update for me But other than that I have heard forcing it to shut down but holding the power button or removing the plug is worse for a HDD That and I have to force it to shut down when I get blue screen of death Cant figure out how to fix that
still better to get a 120gb ssd for OS and HDD for storage imho. No point getting hybrid, if budget is the concern. I rather get a cheap/small ssd, than a hybrid. If I want storage, I'll buy the cheaper HDD
batabatonica 'Hybrid' in this instance refers to the hybrid-drives, which uses HDD primarily for storage, and caches the most-accessed files onto a smaller (8-32GB) SSD partition. So not really.
SSD is definitely more convenient, but I like to boot up and use my old laptop once in a while because I like the sound of the HDD. I remember in like 4th grade I would always do research on the desktops that were shut down, just to turn them on and listen to the drive spinning up. Anyone else relate or am I just special...?

SSD is faster, but i will buy Hybrid, because you will have more memory for a little price, and you can not die for 3 seconds of loadding.
Lol
@@latifar9912 согласен с тобой, полный lol
Get a Kingston a400 and pair it with a better HDD for the best of both worlds
im sorry but those were not 3 seconds and even if they were, 3 seconds on absolutely everything really add up - especially if u are a tiltable gamer , those 3 secs might save your computer xD
SSD for the OS and Hybrid for everything else is the best Value/Money combo u can achieve I think
ชัดเจนเลยครับ ขอบคุณมากเลยครับ
This is the type of video that we need.
Thanks for this comparative demonstration.
its good

HDD = 2G
Hybrid = 3G
SSD = 4G (LTE).
😀 LOL
I'm on 2G. Pfft

This really shows you how fast SSD’s have become
Nice! I also use Crucial SSD, this time in 500 GB.

Pretty impressed by the hybrid drive, it's not a bad little bit of kit. Normal day to day use, it's great idea if you're building a budget pc but need the space.
This video was posted 6 years ago and you are still hearting the comments.
OMG Do you still answer comments!! So gr8 of you.
Seems to me the hybrid is only slightly slower then the ssd for the price it seems thats the way to go because you can get a lot more storage for a lower price.
+cjhan47 Agreed.
+Littlefabio Hybrid I believe is always the best option unless you are completely comp.. clumsy! I mean then you wouldn't need the faster flash memory of the hybrid anyway if that was the case. This is a bit old, and the RPM of the HDD is 5400RPM which is average but there are 7200s which go fair bit faster... That being said with 16Mb cache which is actually quite good it helps speed things along, especially ONCE IT GETS RUNNING. Having high cache and a 7200 RPM is still quite good especially if there is no option for a custom made laptop like in my case since I only have 5 - 6 Business days left before I leave... or if custom made is too pricey...
Man, it only boots fasters. On a SSD, also your Programms and EVERYTHING will open faster, your PC will be much more responsive.
I wouldn't need a hybrid because i have a 3tb 170mb/s hdd and a 1tb 850 evo. With rapid mode to 4900 mb/s. Great ssd
+Robert Shuste I don't think you understand that some people can't afford a SSD
if you were using a hitachi hard drive, the HDD computer would still be booting till this very day
Andrew Whitburn
Are they really THAT slow?
haha yes, at least the model I had in my laptop was super slow. I actually read up on that model and it seemed to be a common issue with poor performance. I actually just put in a Samsung 750 and it is very impressive with its responsiveness. I find it seems to be performing better than my 840 I bought years ago for my desktop.
Andrew Whitburn
Yikes 😮
i got 2TB hitachi and its fast as hell with i7
Hitachi are probably the worst brand of hard drive, ever!
Thank you for puting this video together.
this is from 6 years before and the channel owner is still hearting comments
Having used an hybrid for about 2 years now, I can confirm that it doesn't make much difference. Those computers in the video are freshly formatted with Windows probably not even updated. After a couple months of normal use, it gets much slower (5+ min to boot and be able to do something with the computer) where with an SSD, the boot is still less than 30 seconds.
Make sure to do a cache clean and defrag your hd and it will be like new
@@alexanderr6474 Defrag doesn't do much since Windows Vista. The fragmentation level stays around 2-3%.
After more runs on the SSHD though it caches the info and is gets faster from then on
Correct
OH! Really? Interesting. I'm definitely keeping that in mind.
I have one myself and the first boot times were about the same as my last hard drive (seagate barracuda) but after a few weeks of boots it its quite fast still not fast as an ssd but pretty close, now ssd prices are way cheaper so a hybrid is pointless now, you can get a 500gb samsung 850 evo for $150 now, thats enough space to get most people by. or you can go the mainstream route and get a 250 gig 850 evo for $75 for a boot drive and use your current hard drive lol
Amadax You can get a 1Tb SSHD off the internet for as cheap as 60 to 80 bucks. So that's not a bad deal either.
yea to me its not worth it now. if you install your os and have some small programs such as web browsers, everything becomes much more responsive because there is a much faster reads and writes for everything on the drive rather than a faster boot time which my pc is running mostly 24/7. if you save a little more for a 500gb ssd, even a lesser quality ssd of the 850 evo something like an Adata 512gb going for $120 will outperform a hybrid even in boot times not to mention indexing and accessing files. Its really just my opinion though and I know some people don't really mind having a mechanical drive and yea mechanical and hybrid drives are a really good value.
HDD: slow but good number of size
Hybrid: Slightly faster than HDD. much slightly expensive than HDD
SSD: Faster than all Hard Drives. good luck with the price.
128gb ssd for 20$
It's funny coz this comment will just be more and more wrong as years go by.
As fabrication for these get cheaper generally SSD's nowerdays are very affordable compared 5 years back.
@@quackmeister69 come to the 3rd world and say the same lol
I would much rather save up my money for an SSD than to waste money on a slow HDD
Searched on Google for an explanation .... This was the 1st recommendation ..... worth it 👍🏻
OK that settles it! If you're low on cash, then get the Hybrid SSHD.
Eh, that depends. A 240GB SSD costs less than a 1TB SSHD, so people who don't really use massive storage will benefit from a 240GB SSD.
I have ~314 GB of storage being used so that clearly doesn't apply to me.
will do you prefer me to get a 2 tb sshd better than 500 gb ssd ??
+Jordan Brown you can always get a 2ND one when you need it
i just bought and now waiting for my new laptop, it has a 1TB SSHD 8GB SSD cache, i have taken my 256SSD out my old one and will add it,, . i will stick my software and a few games on the 256 but not sure if it's worth changing the OS?. as the specs. say it's on an *GB SSD cache anyway.. thanks
I like HDD because I can annoy my brother by ""accidentally"" shutting down when it's his turn on the computer
400 iQ
Oh my
I don't recommend doing that for the sake of your COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!
Ohhhhhhhh myyyyyyyy goddddddddd
Chaotic evil
Thank you for this quick comparison. Liked it!
UA-cam recommend me after 5 year
And still i am waching 😊 to know difference
I can pee in the meantime.. while using HDD... 😏
Lol i have hdd
SUPERB... without any noice you explained it perfectly....
Atleast, HDD respects Start Animations. XD
only good thing about hdd is if you have a modded boot screen you can watch your custom logo loop
well, hdd might not be the fastest but it will get the job done, slowly but surely, its like a veteran who dont want to give up and keep fighting :')
Not surely, SSD have more time before it starts to get errors and the HDD has to defragmentate.
Sm00th TV I only trust hdds for about six years.
Yeah, an SSD will usually have a longer lifespan unless you're a business that constantly writes to it. SSDs usually only die because of hitting their write limit and that's usually not for a very long time.
Kellin Quinn my first ssd die after 1 year and few month, my secont ssd die after 2 years my 7200 hd never die and is still in use for more than 5 years. Ssd is just useless.
Cédric Yvon i had a ssd ADATA 32gb and it works about 1 year, the ssd are really fast but not trustable, i have hybrids right now and one ssd kingstone 120gb, will see how long it works
It was very helpful.
とても参考になりました。
Still appearing in recommended , thanks UA-cam 🙏
The category is comedy -_-
Isn't it funny 😂 .... Ohh well ... Bye
+snowiblind Rightly so. I think it's hilarious how much longer the HDD takes to load. They're basically inferior to SSD's in every way except price. (for now)

APPLBL00M wait wat lol
+APPLBL00M consumer grade for sure. im running two 7 year old 10k WD velociraptors and they are faster than a single 600gb ssd. but... they were $300 each 7 years ago for the 300gb version.
HDD 5400 rpm vs SSD ...
a very neutral test
Awesome video to show to someone who is new to tech stuff👍✨
6m views and only 40k likes man this dude deserves more appreciation
wait that's a 5400 RPM HDD. who the fuck uses that in anything but older laptops? It should be redone with a 7200 RPM HDD. that's what most of us Desktop users are going to have and use. I know the SSD will cream it but still
+njdevil281 because it's a IMAc
njdevil281 that's sad, yet doesn't surprise me. it's Apple
+Anthony Trifoglio True...but it has a 16MB cache.
Panglos oh in that case that 16 mb cache is worth the extra $1000-$2000
+Anthony Trifoglio Around $100 per MB sounds about right.
How many MB are there in a TB?
Полезное видео,спасибо
Wahnsinn, danke fürs zeigen!
6 years and he's still hearting comments!
That's a really good demo. Life's too short for HDDs - gimmee the silicon!
Be careful! If you write to an SSD a lot it can die pretty quickly too!
Bear that in mind. SSDs should be used for reading operations mostly, such as an OS installation, some games (a big deal of them don't really benefit from an SSD) and software in general. For massive storage that you won't really access all the time (movies, music, videos), the HDD is still the way to go.
What you could do is configure an SSD to cache a HDD with intel SRT to create a hybrid drive with all the performance of your SSD with as much storage as you want from the HDD. Sounded like a pretty interesting solution to me.
I still want to do some more research on all this, and if it's generally better to use an SSD and a HDD separately, if it's better to cache the HDD with the SSD, if it's better to do both or just buy an SSHD.
Since I currently have money for neither of those options, I'm not really worried. Hahahah. But it is nice to learn new stuff.
almost 7 years later this is still the best video to see deference.
6 years later still the best comparison
The best video ever for explanation whatsoever

Ameya S how to know if my pc is hdd or ssd or hybrid
I can wait 40 seconds for a lower price
+P Meister Then you are not worthy...
jk idk XD
40 seconds, everyday, lets say for 3 years = 730hours, that's 30.41 days of waiting.
If you work, how much money could you make in 730 hours? Could you have used a tiny portion of that money towards a higher priced SSD? I'd hope so. :)
No, that's not how math works. It's 730 minutes, which is 12.17 hours, which is around half a day. Not even close.
(40*365*3 = 43800 => 43800/60 = 730 minutes => 730/60 = 12.17 hours)
Oh damn, you're right. Math fail :P Still saved some time :P
hhhh me too
Nice demonstration
Lovely Walkthrough Video Maanne !! 😎
the time the SSD saves you now, you spent later in fixing all your lost work, because it decided to be 8MB large or simply not read properly anymore. SSD's are awesome, as long as they work. Dont put them into hybernation and DONT EVER cut the power abruptly or you pay for it dearly. SSD's are tough when you "baby" them.
oBseSsIoNPC wait don't cut the power abruptly?
what happens
and my pc doesnt even have hybernation mode (it doesnt work) and what about sleep mode
Gotta say, after owning and using a Crucial MX100 CT512 for 6 months, and having (on multiple occasions) cut power to the PC, nothing bad has happened to the drive or the operating system installed on it... SSDs are getting incredibly reliable for the day-to-day demands of even enthusiasts, and not having to wait a whole solid minute before the login screen /even shows up/ (not to mention the many minutes after you login waiting for the system files to load) really does add up over the years you're going to be using that thing.
I'm sorry sir, but I disagree with you on your assessment.
LimitAtInfinity Well, not to be rude, but 6 months is not enough to give you the baseline to an opinion. I have owned SSD's over years and I have gone through half a dozen. The last one that broke indeed lasted 2 years and was a crucial SSD. There are VERY reliable SSD's, yes. But the same thing applies to all of them. POWER the PC down properly, don't cut the power. Hibernation is fixed afaik. My Laptop is 3 years old with an SSD in it and it works 99% great. I own almost 2 dozen HDs and only one ever failed me....in 15 years.... . So yeah HD's still out last SSD's.
All I am saying, don't trust your most important data to them. Booting and OS operations are bad ass.
abirneji yes, don't hold the power button to shut the PC or laptop off, don't take the power off or you WILL hurt the SSD. Sleep mode is fine. All manufacturers have fixed their SSD's afaik.
oBseSsIoNPC well I doubt Ill need to since it turns off so fast but sometimes it crashes mid update for me
But other than that
I have heard forcing it to shut down but holding the power button or removing the plug is worse for a HDD
That and I have to force it to shut down when I get blue screen of death
Cant figure out how to fix that
Ah the good days when windows 7 would skip the startup animation when you have an SSD
seeing video after 7 years later..
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
I like how the computer user names are the drive that the computer use
SSD is so fast it doesn't even show the startup animation lol
Its splash screen.
@@LiegeMaximo he's referring to the windows 7 startup animation, or maybe you are making a joke
@@misterobtuse5335 its technical name is splash screen. The startup animation is called the splash screen.
@@LiegeMaximo windows 7 startup animation or dell splash screen
@@misterobtuse5335 ah my bad, the companies logo is splash screen, win 7 logo animation is bootanimation. My mistake 😅
still better to get a 120gb ssd for OS and HDD for storage imho. No point getting hybrid, if budget is the concern. I rather get a cheap/small ssd, than a hybrid. If I want storage, I'll buy the cheaper HDD
Unless you're dealing with a laptop, pre-M.2. With only one space available for a drive, a hybrid is certainly an up if you can't afford SSD prices.
You know having ssd for os and hdd for storage means hybrid right?
batabatonica 'Hybrid' in this instance refers to the hybrid-drives, which uses HDD primarily for storage, and caches the most-accessed files onto a smaller (8-32GB) SSD partition.
So not really.
I'm watching this video 6 years later
But still it is informative
SSD is definitely more convenient, but I like to boot up and use my old laptop once in a while because I like the sound of the HDD.
I remember in like 4th grade I would always do research on the desktops that were shut down, just to turn them on and listen to the drive spinning up. Anyone else relate or am I just special...?
This video changed my mind. Now I must switch my laptop HDD to SSD for saving great time.
What’d you mean? With hdd you too can save time by making a coffee while it loads
@@SpookaySpctr What will happen if we already made coffee and drank it. Do you mean we should make coffee another time for saving time?
