SSD or HDD?
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2020 4:05 pm
Hi chaps,
I only have one HDD currently and this is a few years old. I'm getting itchy about the need to back up images/files etc and would like a second drive to store onto as well. I can't decide whether to go for SSD which I know is faster, uses less energy but pound for pound does not get me as much storage space as a HDD.
I would probably keep gaming stuff on the HDD I have (1TB SATA600 7200rpm) and backup everything else to a second, new drive.
Another can of worms opening here but just wondering what recommendations you could make for a decent, reliable drive and what do you folks have please?
