    I always hear people saying that SSD’s are faster than hard drives, but when I put them both on a desk, neither of them moved. What a lie.

      Why should God let you into Heaven?
      Have you lied (even once in your entire life), looked with lust (sexual desire), dishonoured parents, stolen anything, had hatred towards someone, had premarital sex, adultery etc If you answered yes to any one of the above then you are a sinner like the rest of us.
      So, I ask you again, why should God let a sinner into Heaven?
      Sinners don’t go to heaven they go to hell, But we are blessed to have Jesus (God incarnate) die on the Cross and rise from the dead. If you Repent (forsake your sinful, unholy ways and live righteous instead) & Believe in Jesus as God, you will be seen as a Saint and welcomed into Heaven.

    As of April 7th 2020,
    It's crazy how SSD's have come such a long way since 2014. $120 dollars today could get you a 1TB SSD or a 5TB HDD, HDDs still store more but SSDs are not far behind, and with the speed of M.2 or a SATA port its almost impossible to go back to HDDs even if they are larger incapacity.

      God wants to have a relationship with you. Once a believer you become adopted into the family and a son of God (small s) and the Holy Spirit lives in you and helps you in life. When you die you will be joined to your Father in heaven (God). Us Christians see God’s judgement towards sin and His love of obedience. God (Jesus) is personal.

      @Dr Troll For games, it really depends on the game and how often it loads. If the game is large but doesn't load often, you can just run it on the HD. If you have games that have long loading screens and load often, it's best to install those on an ssd. But I would always store huge personal files like video and photos on an HD. It is larger storage for way less money, plus you will write to the HD way more if you're always moving files. SSDs will deteriorate much faster the more files you write, and you won't be writing your operating system or installing programs often. You'll mostly be reading data with those once installed.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there's a way to reduce SSD wear if you have a SSD for your OS and an HDD for general storage.
    You can set your browser to always ask where to save downloaded files. So instead of downloading a movie into your SSD and then moving to your HDD, you download directly to your HDD. This method may greatly increase your SSD lifespan because you are not writing and erasing as much, especially if you like movies.

      Any SSD over 1 TB is way out of the price range of the average consumer (and 512GB models are borderline pushing it for most). The cost per GB is a few cents on a regular HDD compared to $.60 - $.80 per GB on an SSD. HDD's still maintain the advantage of price and total capacity compared to an SSD ($100-200 for a 1-4TB HDD drive, compared to $800-2000+ for a 1-4TB SSD).
      The only benefit an average user will see is overall speed and responsiveness to their system (no FPS boost). Most people right now only need a small capacity SSD for an OS and commonly used programs.
      Also, that link you provided: $28000 for a 4TB PCIe SSD. Completely not worth it.

      The Bible can be summed up in 1 word. Jesus. Jesus means salvation. But you may say “what do I need to be saved from?” Sin and its consequence (which is Hell-the wrath of God). But you may say “I don’t Sin”. Jesus said all humans have sinned in thought, word, or deed, so either you are lying, or Jesus is lying. On the topic of sin have you ever lied, stolen anything, spoken abusively to or about someone, Swore, Blasphemed God’s Holy name, lusted after the opposite sex, had premarital sex, cheated, hated someone?
      Jesus died on the cross and experienced the wrath of God on Himself in order for you to be forgiven and reconciled with God. All you have to do is repent (change from your sinful ways) and Believe in Jesus. Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

      @tpcs8667 10 років тому

      Main reason your boot up time with whatever hdd storage o.s. installed-solution you had was because you had a shit ton of start up programs trying to launch/run in the background UPON START UP. aka in msconfig ( if in xp, vista and 7 and ctrl shift esc for task manager then start up tab for windows 8). Otherwise normal start up time for just one to three programs on xp is no more than 1:30 tops and most often right at one minute for 7200 rpm hdd as a worst case scenario. 1:30 for 5400 rpm hdd's in that exact same scenario.
      I'm speaking from 14 years of experience so not trying to rub anything in. Just giving you some specs/pointers to "measure" by when it comes to start up times in windows o.s.'s vs the hardware you're using and amount of start up programs. Also TYPE of start up program plays a role. MOST antivirus suites are hardcore heavy on cpu usage upon system start up.

    Thanks. I just got my SSD and wow, what a great decision I recommend it highly.. Everything on the computer is so much faster, from loading iTunes to starting the computer (Windows 7), everything is literally at least twice as fast. I just turn it on, and 30 seconds later, I am in google chrome or whatever. That would have taken me like 2 or 3 minutes with my HDD! Even seems like the browser is a little faster.
    And it's a lot quieter because the disk itself of course, but also because it doesn't heat up the system as much, the fan doesn't have to run as much, making it even quieter. Plus now I have a half terabyte of portable storage from my old hard drive. I got the 240GB that was plenty enough for me, definitely worth it though, about $125. I probably would have been fine with 120GB though but better safe than sorry.

Some HDDs have this locked and some don't. The only signs of age on this drive would be its bad sectors. Other than that, it is as good as the day it was born.

      Weeeelll... I had an SSD fail on me and now I run windows 8 on a standard HDD. To be honest the reliability of my OS being on the HDD was worth the couple of seconds extra boot time I've found. I think if you just use office applications and browse a bit, you know whatch a few youtube channels and put your holiday snaps on the PC an SSD is overpriced still I'd say. And you can't beat the reliability of proven tech. I wanna know I aint gonna lose my data again.
      If you're doing a lot of heavy file reading though I can totally see SSD for ya... I totally HAVE to run Skyrim with like 80 mods on my SSD cause otherwise the experience is ruined by the HDD bottleneck.
      It really depends what you are using it for. If you are a heavy user running programs that require reading a lot of smaller files then man... go SSD for sure.

    Worth considering is running a RAID setup with inexpensive SATA drives. This can give both a performance boost, increased storage space and increased data security (if running RAID levels such as RAID 1 or 5, that is).

      Why should God let you into Heaven?
      Have you lied (even once in your entire life), looked with lust (sexual desire), dishonoured parents, stolen anything, had hatred towards someone, had premarital sex, adultery etc If you answered yes to any one of the above then you are a sinner like the rest of us.
      So, I ask you again, why should God let a sinner into Heaven?
      Sinners don’t go to heaven they go to hell, But we are blessed to have Jesus (God incarnate) die on the Cross and rise from the dead. If you Repent (forsake your sinful, unholy ways and live righteous instead) & Believe in Jesus as God, you will be seen as a Saint and welcomed into Heaven.

  • @QuantumBraced
    @QuantumBraced 9 років тому +8

    I don't think it's accurate to say writing to SSDs will wear them out "fairly quickly". I think new ones are rated something like 50GB written on them per day for 10 years, before they even start to degrade, and when they do - your data is not lost, you just have less space, while an HDD just fails.

    • @RodknockRhett
      @RodknockRhett 8 років тому +1

      Hard Drive don't always just fail. Some Hard Drives are good enough to see their capacity shrink. My old Seagate Hard Drive is now 13 years old. The original capacity was 160GB. After 13 years of heavy use, the capacity is now 143GB. Some Hard Drives however die within a year.

    • @QuantumBraced

    • @davefish2280
      @davefish2280 8 років тому +2

      +QuantumBraced So true. This myth is due to early SSDs from about 2005 wearing out fast. 10 years later and the cheapest SSD you can buy will last much longer than a typical HDD. Longevity testing suggests that under extremely heavy use of 100GB per day writes, a cheap SSD will last around 50 years. I write about 30GB per day to mine and I'm a reasonably heavy user, so for me it will last around 100 years.
      Of course there will be examples of defective devices that fail sooner, but I expect that the majority of SSDs will outlast my own lifespan.
