No not really
Cooper Lee
no but they work better with your hot swap rack which you SHOULD HAVE because internal drives are fucking TRASH and OBSOLETE.
Anthony Howard
...Then why are they fuckhueg?
Xavier Martin
?
They're smaller than desktop's hard drives.
John Moore
No, but I like how they're quieter and can be powered off 5V.
Andrew Bell
desktop drives typically have more platters
Bentley Collins
I was referring to desktops.
What does that mean for their performance, though?
Jose Walker
Do you even lift?

Back in my days safety boots were required to install an HDD.

>not just using an array of usb external drives
Nolan Myers
laptop HDs run at 5200RPM and in theory their rotors would last more
But since you're moving the laptop every time you take it away that actually diminishes it life cycle
in other words: use SSD
Xavier Wilson
just a warning not to buy 2.5 inch firecuda drives ive never had issues with seagates before but my 2tb firecuda just died recently no clicking no nothing just flat out died it was less than a year old. When googling about it i found quite a lot of people saying they had the same issue
Austin King
Funfact,
The old iPods were HDD based, and was actually the highest capacity ones for like a decade at least.
Chase Collins
160GB model released in 2007
You need to go up to 7th gen iPod Touch released in 2019 for a 256GB flash model.
Spinning rust had a good run.

Jow Forums should I get an SSD for win 10? What brand should I get?

>not using an ssd in 2019
Brandon Martinez
Is it easy to migrate your HDD to an SSD or win10 will be more fucked?
Brody Ramirez
some 2.5 hdds are as loud as 3.5
Jackson Brown
How does this work, wouldn't the HDDs get hot without any form of cooling?
Brody Johnson
I see you have important data with no backups, it would be a shame if something happened to it.
Grayson Green
You fucking clone your drive to one, or literally move the files to it anyway you like. It's another storage medium. Do you think SSDs are made of ghosts or some shit? Jesus Christ.
Cooper Thompson
>not using a personal Drive Cloud
Jason Harris
3.5" are typically faster and less $/TB than 2.5" drives and have higher maximum capacities. They're louder though so unless you're on a tight budget or need >5TB you'll probably be happier with a 2.5" drive.
Asher Young
Higher storage capacity.
Ethan Allen
>Hybrid drive
There's your problem
Josiah Cook
I've got a bunch of 20 year old HDDs that still work, use them as external drives for storing fuck-old stuff i'll probably never need again.
Elijah Butler
Ryan Murphy
probably the only thing windows would do is to think it is using a hdd and not a sdd, maybe.
Brody Parker
no.
i once hold a 2.5" hdd wrong and it died.
Liam Gray
you need to be gentle, think of them as a little baby.
Justin Thomas
In my experience, yes.
I've never had a 2.5 fail out of like 8-10 that I've owned while 3/4 3.5 drives I've had died within 5 years.
Could be bad luck, I don't buy mechanical drives anymore.
Mason Jenkins
>Capping your transfer rate to usb bus speed limits.
Imagine being this broke.
Dominic Perez
Seriously, who the fuck uses swap racks? What are you hiding user? Child porn? Illegal stuff? Or do you just like to waste money? WHAT DO YOU HIDE, NEEEEEEEEERD

>Could be bad luck, I don't buy mechanical drives anymore.
Other way around for me kinda. I've only had one 3.5" HDD die in my time but I've seen over 10 2.5" kick the bucket.
