SSD vs Hard Drive Torture Test

Показать описание

SSDs and hard drives (HDDs) always get compared to each other the same way. A fresh operating system with the latest drivers running in an ideal environment. We decided to throw a curve ball at that!

Watches a SSD vs Hard Drive Torture Test
Conclusion:
"Nice T-Shirt"

I'd like to point out that this is a very unfair comparison.

The HDD, being as old as it is, has a terrible read/write speed compared to a brand new HDD, not just that, because it's so old, the HDD has been worn a lot, making it even slower...

To make this test fair he should have cloned his data to a brand new HDD as well as the SSD; that way he'd run a fucked up OS on 2 brand new drives, rather than on one brand new and one ancient...

Been rocking an SSD for the past 3 and half years. Once you go SSD for your boot drive, you never go back.

I have been watching SSD vs HDD tests for a few days now and this is the one video that made things clear of what happens after you use a drive for a longer time. Great video and thank you for it.

I get annoyed people keep referencing boot times when that's about the least impressive difference between an SSD an HDD. It's to the point where people think that boot times is all it improves. Seriously just go scroll down and I bet close to half the comments consist of this:
"My *insert random HDD brand* drive boots in like *Insert random time in the 30seconds -1min range* why do I need an SSD?".

If you can't wrap your brain around the fact the an SSD improves every facet of the general computing experience as well as providing a drastic decrease in game load times (especially those with large HD textures) then whatever. Enjoy purposely avoiding change and purposely making your computer experience worse because you are too cheap to shell out what is at this point a very nominal amount of money. I mean come on, on the extreme low end you are talking 50-60 bucks. Also please don't reference the amount of storage space you are getting for that money. That's a non-issue in a desktop environment because you are paying for the speed not the space and your old HDD hasn't magically disappeared for all your mass storage needs.

Great and very representative video in terms of "real life situations". We need more stuff like this! It easier for customers to be identified with what they'll get!

Every single friend I've recommended an SSD to were hesitant at first but once they got one. they said they would never go back to HDD.
They were all amazed at the difference.
Honestly, you have to have one to see what I mean. If you haven't got one, get one.

I love that there are actually people in these comments arguing that SSDs don't matter, aren't worth it, etc. They are objectively better in every single way that I can think of. It sucks that some of you guys can't afford one or haven't used one yet, but that doesn't mean you need to leave incredibly stupid, un-informed, and simply incorrect opinions laying around the place. :3

Wow, a Seagate drive that didn't die after less than a year? Is such a thing possible?

Awesome guys you've pretty much cemented an SSD into my next build.
Love the real world tests the only tests really worth a damn. Couldn't think of a better use for your old drive.
Thanks

I've just had a new pc without an ssd and for the machine to boot up and be useable took 2mins. Now I've installed an ssd and moved everything over to that, 2mins has now been reduced to 27 seconds.

They should have cloned the data to a new HDD and used that one for testing.
Now they're comparing a HDD with 5 years of usage to a brand new SSD.
The difference probably won't be that big but it still seems a bit unfair.

Once you have SSD, you never go back to HDD ;)

I have a laptop with SSD that I've had as my daily machine for about 5 years now (Win7/64) and I keep it fairly clean + use autoruns now and again to make sure nothing necessary is trying to start on login

The original install was ghosted over to a larger SSD about 18 months ago, but in all that time it's consistently booted up in around 30s and is as fast to use as when installed.

The old 128Gb drive I stuck in a caddy and used to safely store video/pics when travelling :)
