I found a useful article which I am sharing for the benefit of others: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2404258,00.asp SSD vs. HDD: What's the Difference? By Joel Santo Domingo November 9, 2016 4 Comments Do you like your storage plentiful and cheap, or do you like it fast and safe? Here's how to choose between a traditional hard drive and a solid-state drive in your next PC. Benefits of SSDs: SSDs • Road warriors: People who shove their laptops into their bags indiscriminately will want the extra security of an SSD. That laptop may not be fully asleep when you violently shut it to catch your next flight. This also includes folks who work in the field, like utility workers and university researchers. • Speed demons: If you need things done now, spend the extra bucks for quick boot-ups and app launches. Supplement with a storage SSD or hard drive if you need extra space (see below). • Graphic arts and engineering professionals: Yes, I know I said they need hard drives, but the speed of an SSD may make the difference between completing two proposals for your client and completing five. These users are prime candidates for dual-drive systems (more on that below). • Audio engineers and musicians: If you're recording music, you don't want the scratchy sound from a hard drive intruding. Go for quieter SSDs. | |
