Imagine spending twice the price so you can open windows 1 second earlier than usual

Imagine spending 100$ for a 1tb storage device that will last 10 years that makes zero noise and is fast as heck.

Imagine still believing it's a meme after people have been vastly improving the responsiveness of their systems for a decade.

You're good user. Enjoy your purchase

Posting in epic thread

My mx500 just werks with my thinkpad

Imagine never having felt the snappiness of an SSD system.
I won't say it's sad because ignorance is bliss.

Windows 10 literally isn't even usable on a hard drive. It's like using Windows Vista on an XP machine, it doesn't work.

Bullshit.

Against 1-2 minutes for booting from a HDD.

i can attest to this

>watch me restore from a thin hibernate on an ssd
>still takes 10 seconds

Booting to the desktop in 12 seconds instead of 90 seconds absolutely whips ass.

I'm conflicted
I want to get my brother a new drive because the poor guy is stuck on a single 320gb one, so now I can either choose between a 1TB hdd or a 250GB mx500, wat do

my windows 10 pc with an hdd boots up nearly as fast as that. maybe a couple seconds slower.

You did good.
Your SSD will safely go into read-only if it were to fail (which never happens as SSDs are WAY MORE reliable than HDDs)

Wait, you ever assumed this in the first place?

SSD is still a meme

my pc takes like 2 minutes to boot then another 10 minutes to "warm up" and actually be usable
>tfw 10year old 750gb hdd
Squeezing every last cent of worth out of this bad boy

Is it completely shut off though? Since with windows 10, if you have fastboot enabled, the computer doesn't completely shut down which allows it to boot up faster

>Wangblows

>tfw main hdd just died completely
>not even showing up in bios

Based hard drive failing on black friday. Bought a nice 1TB SSD to replace it.
Still sucks that I lost some stuff that I hadn't backed up. First time a hard drive failed outright on me. RIP all that niche porn ;_;

Booted into my Linux partition on another drive, installed Steam and was able to resume muh games via cloud saves like nothing happened. Proton just werks. I am impressed with Valve desu. Now to decide if I should install Win10 on the ssd or continue to cling to 7 like a boomer

hey user, you still here?

at work we had hdds, that wouldn't be recognised but one of our engineers found a way to work around that
we would boot up victoria 3.52 (a diagnostic tool) while having connected a working hdd.
Then we had it set and ready to scan the connected and recognised drive at that sata port
After that we would hotswap it to the unrecognisable one and start scanning.
It would continue scanning flawlessly and sometimes fix the problems, other times show that the drive is dead for good.

What I'm saying is don't give up, try fixing it instead of throwing it away, your porn mustn't be disposed of!!)))

why did you post this faggot, delete it. I'm serious.

>imagine not having more SSD storage than HDD

Still here, thanks for the info. I admit I didn't think of hotswapping another HD, seems kind of scary desu, but I do have a spare old drive I could use for that. Better than nothing, so long as it doesn't fry the mobo or whatever.
I'll try it once I get Windows set up again. Thanks user. Never slacking on backups again.

Best of luck

I wish I could provide more info but I had to do it only once as these situations were rare for us and I cant remember the details.

Afaik we had our computer hooked up to our network and booted from there into some ms-dos looking thing, never thought to ask, regrettably. Hdd connected to sata 1.
That beige diagnostics pc was probably as old as I am and was there long before me and likely will remain for long after))

Imagine paying 10x the price so you can open windows a few seconds earlier than usual.
Really, this is all you need. Why are you wasting your money?

Best €30 spent of my life

Some newer games can stutter and/or have perverse pop-in if installed on a HDD.Any workstation use, outside of programming, would be hell without an SSD.

Dunno what you're talking about, literally cut the boot time of my gahnoo+loonix in half
from 40 seconds to 20

>suggesting ReadyMeme

I just bought a 1TB SSD solely to install games on, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Imagine being THAT poor to post it in Black Friday.

My wife got a Dell laptop the other day with a "Hybrid Drive" that supposedly uses solid state storage for frequently accessed data and a mechanical disk drive for everything else. Maybe it's just because I haven't had an OS on a mechanical disk drive in 8 years, but I swear it was slow as fuck. I couldn't tell any difference between that and an HDD.

SSHDs are just a scam they are the worst of both ends without the benefits.
There is a reason why they never got popular.

>2018
>not using Intel Optane
Shiggy diggy Jow Forums

Nice, I'm thinking of doing the same. I have a 2TB HDD that I put most games on, and it's so fucking painful to load

no, you're right that, shit is slow as fuck.

dress up as aoba and give him the girlfriend experience

If my work would just give us SSDs they'd probably make their money back in productivity on the first Windows update that hits.

Imagine being poor.

Imagine seven vaginas.

that's what matters

Imagine using moving parts in 2018.

Your fault for buying AMD.

what's hes name?

Nah, SSHD's definitely had their place a few years ago. I had one and it truly was awesome. It did take a few days for the cache to build up after a reinstall though. But nowadays they are definitely in an awkward place and make no sense to buy.

Who the fucks turns off their PC? Just use (hybrid) sleep mode, trust me it is awesome to be able to open up your laptop and have it instantly be ready. I haven't shutdown since the last kernel update.

Saw a nvme ssd with hummingbird pic on it.
$20 for 120gb. Is it legit bros? Or it got built-in botnet?
Also anyone know that brand called?

I'm gone 5 days a week
that would be literally just wearing that thing down for nothing

There is no fucking way that price is legit.

nvm, i was retarded, it was not nvme. the brand is adata. normal price is $25 for 128gb.

yea thats a shit brand anyway, I wouldn't trust that drive to store the fucking viruses on my pc.

""""""Her""""""

is that the samsung one on black friday ???

use a small SSD as a cache for a HDD
what is the size of your average work set, really? do you hit more than a few 10's of gigs on a day to day basis?
i semi-recently setup a 64G partition on an ssd as a cache, backed by a 5400 RPM HDD, and i get this;
>multi-user.target reached after 2.932s in userspace
regularly used things are SSD-speed, without needing to manually shuffle things around

>because hibernate displays the bios splash

yes, it does.
