you know, ssds kick hdds asses, collectively.
however i will buy a hdd over a ssd because i need 1tb of storage, minimum, and thats 70ish$, a 30gb ssd, 70ish$ even as a boot thats pathetic, because how much more can i store on it besides os, and how often do i boot my pc? once every week, once a month? barring crashes, or power outs about 2-3 weeks at any give time. i can handle a minute boot time on the os.
however my sotorage on the other hand, it can take a minute to load some folders, and going through the folders for what i want takes io ops.
i can use a ssd for storage more than i can for boot.
but for storage alone, i need minimum of 120gb, and a nice "future proof" of 240gb. but thats WAY to expensive for me.
why not stop speeding this crap up and bring the prices down. seriously. i would take a drive that is half the speed of a hdd but with no seek time if it was .25$ a gb.
