A very important factor when assembling

Post by Mitu100@ »

Judging by these figures, even a budget SSD storage will be twice as fast as a professional hard drive.

Cost
a computer or server is the cost of components. In this case, SSDs may be too expensive and unprofitable, although their prices have recently decreased significantly, they still remain very expensive in the price/gigabyte ratio.

For example, a regular Western Digital 1TB WD Blue custom hard drive costs around $ 30-50, but if you take a regular custom SSD Internal SSD SA400S37/480GB, it will telegram data cost around $ 70-180.

Thus, we can see that solid-state drives provide less memory and at the same time can cost two or even more times more expensive. This naturally affects your build because you have to decide what is more important to you: the amount of memory or the speed of reading.

Durability
If you are interested in the durability of the component and you have to choose between SSD or HDD, then you should not rely on SSD. The thing is that a regular custom solid-state drive can be overwritten up to 500 times, which means that it will have to be changed in 2-3 years if you often squeeze the maximum out of your computer.
The hard disk, in turn, can be considered almost immortal because it is unlimited in rewriting and in general its only limitation is the wear of mechanical parts.
In the case of durability, we have a clear winner and this is the HDD, which, in theory, can withstand an infinite number of rewrites and its only limitation is the wear of mechanical parts, which is about 10-20 years of work.
