my fastest hdd, a 6 tb, writes and reads 200 mb/s, the others 100-150 mb/s
my nvme reads 3gb/s and writes 1.8 gb/s
also the random access times are even faster than hdd

Would any of you mind telling me why I only got half credit for this hard drive question for my computer architecture class?

Which of the following are advantages of a solid-state drive, compared to a spinning disk drive? Select all that seem correct.
Lower cost per GByte
x Longer service life
x Shorter access time
x Smaller physical size

I put an x next to the answers i picked, yet somehow this was apparently partially wrong, despite every source online agreeing with me

>my this
>my that
>my whatever
Antecedal evidence isn't evidence

HDD's can take more writes. SDD's are catching up though.

when will 4tb SSD be cheap?

>Storing your data on a loud and obnoxious spinning plate
Might as well carve your shit in stone

When China dumps their NAND chips on the market

How about 12TB? Be cool as fuck storing everything I got on a 12TB SSD

Can I post here if I still have HDDs in my NAS?

I only got 4tb worth of data right now and it hasn't grown in 5 years

I'd like to see you actually produce some evidence then.
It's not up to us to disprove your claims, you need to support your claims as well.

What are you supposed to put on an SSD even? My steam library is 500GB already

>What are you supposed to put on an SSD even?
Everything.

I'm constantly adding and deleting programs, why would I choose a device with a finite number program/delete cycle

I'm pretty sure you don't write multiple TB of data every single day

Yep.
OS - 128GB
GAYMEN - 256GB

There's always ambient noise above fan noise.
People usually listen to music.
If you don't have enough room for a mini itx or regular atx small case, you got bigger issues in life.

SSD drives are about speed not heat/power.
NVME drives actually use a bit of power and generate a bit of heat.

OP is a faggot

Things that last indefinitely are more valuable

Never go full retard. Spinning rust is still valid

kys crab goy,

HDDs certainly don't last indefinitely if you use them regularly, dumb animeposter

SSD's literally have an expiration date on them, HDD's do not.

Because it'll still last decades.

So not HDDs then. They literally have a MTBF.

>SSD's literally have an expiration date on them
No.

cope harder

I'm buying a Kingston a400 500gb for pretty cheap today and I was wondering if someone could answer a few small questions about it. I've never used an SSD before.

I want to put Windows and a few games on it, and I'm reading that the best two ways to do this is to either clone windows 10, or do a fresh install.

Does a fresh install mean I can install a fresh copy of Windows 10 directly onto the SSD delete it off of my current HDD without losing anything else?

Also if I clone it, that means I put everything on my HDD with Windows straight onto the SSD right? If I only have 100 GBs or so on the HDD I clone, is it fine if I just have 2 copies of some programs?

>expensive hdds: 220mb/s
>cheapo ssd: 450mb/s
>expensive ssd: 2gb/s

If we are talking anecdotally, I have had a bunch of HDDs fail, but no SSDs yet.
Yes, each memory cell in an SSD has a limited number of write cycles it is supposed to handle before it starts to degrade. That's why we use things like TRIM to optimize writes across the SSD, but the thing is, as mentioned, you need to writes terabytes every day for a decade to reach these limits.
That's a considerable load even for a HDD. Being mechanical just means there are parts that wear out.
And here's the thing. When the SSD reaches its write limit, it will still be readable. You'd be able to take the data off. When the HDD suffers a mechanical failure it is much more difficult to get the data back.

I own that SSD, fucking fantastic, boot times and move times are fucking nice.

The only excuse to use a middle ground like this is that you're poor. A 4tb 860 evo is better in every single way than that drive.

does it thermal throttle?

>Kingston a400
Keep the receipt intact after 1 year :^)

Yes. Small storage. It's expensive and hard disks 4 times bigger are cheaper.

>0 moving parts when you're not gaming
So you have a fanless PSU, OP? They cost more than an SSD.

No, but the fan curve means that unless Im gaming or encoding or something and its pulling a bunch of wattage it never spins up.

What PSU?

>Does a fresh install mean I can install a fresh copy of Windows 10 directly onto the SSD delete it off of my current HDD without losing anything else?
how the fuck are you supposed to keep any files when you install windowns on a DIFFERENT DRIVE and delete everything on the old drive?

>Also if I clone it, that means I put everything on my HDD with Windows straight onto the SSD right?
yes

>If I only have 100 GBs or so on the HDD I clone, is it fine if I just have 2 copies of some programs?
sure if you want to be retarded and not wipe the HDD so you can have more space for other shit.
not like it's hard to right-click and format after you have cloned it to the SSD...

There is no excuse at all now that AMD StoreMI exists.
Hybrid drives are fucking trash.

Nope, but I have something over it to help it cool.

So is a gimmick software made for poor people like storemi
Corsair sf600

>literally same thing all the enterprises use for caching
>gimmick
back to /v/ with you

It's not a gimmick but it is literally made for cost savings not performance. If it was the same price enterprises would just use SSDs only.
if you can afford SSDs there is 0 reason to use traditional HDs.

sure but that's not what we were talking about

amazon reviews are overwhelmingly 5 star and it has 3 year warranty xDD

>3 year
there's several brands that have 5 year for almost same price

this one was about 40 dollars cheaper than the ones that had 5 years

details?

>we have 10-20 times the storage space you have
>we also paid less for it
>we're plebians
We're reaching levels of retarded cuckoldry that shouldn't be possible.

You also have much slower and more unreliable hardware.

Noisy memory wheelboxes are obsolete.
Bit chips are the present and future.
Throw away your SATA cables and use PCIx (NVMe).
Don't be a caveman.

>implying we cant just run raid for redundancy and still have more storage and still paid less than half as much
>implying we cant make a separate backup system and still spend far less money

>implying there would be a noticable speed difference if using proper caching

This is what I hate about some technology quizzes, shit changes in real life and the old info is still "correct".
I have 4 seagates in my HDD grave and none of them lasted longer than 30 months yet this 840 evo that I have kicking in my rig has been running longer than 4.5 years yet it still has 66% of its lifespan remaining.
Another question I got wrong was, "Another benefit of using fiber optic is that it cannot be wiretapped." and I wrote false. The quiz then said that only copper wires can be wiretapped. Fiber optic was proven to be wiretappable back in 2014.

thats some of the gayest shit ever.

The 3 I was looking at were

The Kingston one I bought was on sale yesterday and sold for 105.

I'm not doing anything too heavy with it so I figured the difference wouldn't be noticeable enough to be worth an extra 30-40 bucks and the reviews were very good.

>tfw using a hard drive instead of a solid shit drive

>over 1000$
it's like $400 usd

you can get a 2 TB WD hard drive for like 100 dollars. what a jewish trick.

Planning on getting two 1tb version for my new build. Wish they weren't so fucking expensive though and am now considering making one of them a WD which is just slightly cheaper.

hell ive actually bought 2 TB toshiba hard drives for like 50$

"only" $30 for almost double warranty and more reliable brand...

VMs and other VM related shit. node and Android studio ran 20 times faster when I switched from a SATA ssd to a nvme SSD.

>hard drive
we're in 2018 grandpa

I was under the impression that Kingston has always been pretty reliable.

>implying any of those makes up for it

>implying anyone cares what you think, kiddo

>>being able to set fan curves so you have 0 moving parts when you're not gaming.

the best part about PC is hearing it rev up hard when you start gaming

Right back at ya.

The other funny thing is that while you go on about higher capacities, the density of SSDs is actually greater than that of HDDs now.
So if you build your NAS with HDDs, I could build one with SSDs the same size with higher capacity, at least the same redundancy and lower response times and throughput to service my network.
It might cost more, but that's just because it's better.
