Question New HDD or SSD recommendations ?

[whatthefish]

Hello guys,

I'm really confused on what to get.

I need HDD or sata SSD for my pictures videos that I want to keep but I don't know how good that is I have found this HDD https://www.pcgarage.ro/hard-disk-uri/seagate/barracuda-2tb-sata-iii-7200rpm-256mb/
And this SSD

https://www.pcgarage.ro/ssd/teamgroup/t-force-vulcan-z-1tb-sata-iii-25-inch/

And I don't know which one to choose between them. ( What should I look for when buying SSD/HDD comparing, if you could give me some website in which I can learn about it would be awesome)

Also I need a nvme ssd for my windows and games what good nvme you recommend for that?

I live in romania so if you need you can do the RON to USD/EUR/GBP if needed

SSD's are bad as storage devices. If and when they die, data is near impossible to recover from them. If your pictures and videos are irreplaceable, then you look at an HDD, not an SSD.

Make and model for your motherboard that you'll be connecting the SSD to?

Both type drives require a good backup.

If you've gotten to the point of "data recovery", with either type drive....you're doing it wrong.

I agree with @Lutfij. I use multiple hard disks spread over several computers to store my large collection of RAW + JPG + MOV files, but I boot Windows from SSDs because they're faster.

You don't need super fast storage for photos and large capacity hard disks tend to be cheaper per Terabyte than SSDs.

I now regard 2TB hard (spinning) disks as uneconomical and too small for my needs. You may find that 4TB or 6TB hard disks work out cheaper per Terabyte than a 2TB drive. A lot depends on how fast your collection of pictures and videos is growing. 2TB might be enough.

Make sure you've got 3 copies of all really important files spread over 3 different devices (disk drives, USB drives, cloud storage, etc). You never know when disaster might strike, e.g. total drive failure or ransomware. HDDs and SSDs don't last forever and can die at any time.
