SSD vs SSHD?
Let's face it: I need something other than a hard drive for my laptop. My laptop is too slow at times and I fear that the day is near for the hard drive it currently has to fail.
So I'm looking on Amazon for deals on SSDs and saw suggestions for SSHDs, which are lower-priced for more storage. I like my storage space, and I don't want to replace an HDD with an HDD. For less cost, and more storage space, would y'all recommend I can go forward with looking into an SSHD? Or should I sacrifice my storage space for speed and get an SSD? Currently, I have about ~335 GB of space on my laptop out of 750. |
I have a Seagate sshd currently. Supposed it moves your most used stuff to the ssd portion automatically. I believe that I got lucky though and it installed my os to that.
I really like the sshd all together. Of course if you can afford a SSD than get that instead as its better in every way but price. |
Not sure if it's still true now, but I've heard in various discussions in the past couple of years that an SSHD is basically combining the worst of both drive types that it tries to fuse together, as it's got the slowness of an HDD and the life expectancy issues of an SSD.

I say get an SSD if you can swing the cost. Look for black friday / cyber monday deals coming up and I'll bet you can find a good price.
When I built my desktop a couple years ago I switched entirely to solid state storage and I haven't looked back for a minute. |
At this point of time, just get a sizable SSD, even if you're on a laptop. Prices and price-per-GB have fallen enough that it starts to make sense to just buy a 480+ GB SSD.

I'd assume that 2.5" is the standard for a laptop. Never really measured these haha |

Anyways, I got an SSD! I'll be taking a system image to my backup HDD then restoring the image onto the SSD. |
