Its pretty simple SSD > HDD.

SSDs are like electric cars. You're always worried about them running out of battery [space].

I don't understand here. Does everyone here think that a computer is limited to one storage device? Is this the crazy train? You don't have trade in your old drive for the SSD.

I thought having multiple drives was the normal thing to do?

I've got 6 (admittedly a lot). But when one of them dies I have backups etc. Do you really want to store ALL of your data on a single drive which is likely to fail at some point in the future?

Nope.

See the difference for yourself:

Thank you for posting this - it's exactly what I'm talking about. And that was the worst ssd vs the best hdd.

Where the hell did you see that?

I only have one drive in my notebook. I also have only one drive in both my desktops.
Haven't you learned yet that : VVhat VVise does != VVhat everybody else does

Yes, if you know what you are doing, it is actually difficult to lose data on a conventional hdd. And quite frankly, my data isn't all that important anyways. If it is, it does not belong on a home computer. Period.

SSD rely on HDDs as a crutch. As it stands they are flawed. Go and take a look at the Origin thread.

To you, it's worth 120$, to me it does not.

this is the "I don't see a use for an optical drive therefore no one should have them" thread all over again
