Question Is HDD reccomended for Win10 or is it better to have an SSD

[Ivan_Buki]

As the title says, is it bad to have Windows 10 installed on a HDD. I Know that SSD is like a 100 times better but i have a different question. I read from some users that Win 10 often does random reads/writes on a HD and that HDD is not good with that and makes my PC go slow or freezes for half a second when i install software, play games or do nothing. Could it be that a HDD is bad at handling that stuff.


Specs : Intel Core i7-8750H 2,20 GHz Turbo Boost 4.1 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4 GB Dedicated VRAM
8 GB DDR4 RAM
SEAGATE 2TB HDD

I will never build another PC that doesn't have Windows 10 on the SSD.

Regardless of what W10 rumor, ANY OS will benefit running on SSD, hey dude they are not expensive these days, and on a budget all you need it is to hold the OS, so 128 MB SSD will do? $50?

HD bad? is the nature of the beast, this even before W10, MECHANICAL drives some people call them, being mechanical have longer latencies (like u have to tap brake behind slow traffic). SSD being solid state means there are less waiting, faster cars around you means less braking.

SSD, no question.
I've not built a PC in the last decade without an SSD as the OS drive.
Most of my systems are "SSD only".
