i have tried researching this on Google and really came up with nothing useful. i believe this is mainly due to that HD Drives are so much more popular/cheaper, and that SSD's have not been tested by a large number of people. (the general public)
i have read they can last 'a good 20 years' but i would not buy into that even in the slightest. That aside, i read 5 years, so that might be it as well.
That would mean the lifespans of both are about the same, it is just that an SSD is much more expensive, but for a HUGE performance boost in both Reading and Writing Data.
HDD Lifespan:
-At least 3 years
-At most 5 years
SSD Lifespan:
-At least 3 years (guessing)
-At most 5 years (expected, but unconfirmed)
And, then here is another persons answer below.
"No moving parts - no heat so less wear - " green " as low energy requirement. - to drop in price as demand increases"
SSD is better than HDD because of its analogy which makes it faster.
HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive. SDD stands for Solid State Drive.
nah its boring tio
The I/O configuration AHC would be the best HDD and SDD configuration for me.
Switch from an HDD to an SSD.
Upgrade your laptop to have an SSD instead of an HDD
It is not known, but it is probable that they would think they use both.
Yes, people just normally use an SSD as a boot drive because it makes booting up a lot faster as well as Windows it'self run faster than when it's running on a HDD. But if you don't mind the slower OS and would preffer faster game loading then use the SSD for your games and HDD for OS and Storage.
Unless you bought your PC or built it with a ssd, there will be none...an SDD(Solid Slate Drive) is a high performance/speed HDD(Harddrive). Often very expensive.
Exactly what the title says I have an HP Pavilion dv7-6163us (laptop) i need a new hdd or ssd. and i need Windows 7 hp 64-bit where can i get them cheap?
Hard disks can be a variety of sizes dude. They are usually in the Gigabyte range now but the more expensive ones will be in the Terabyte range. Also there are now SSD which are are very expensive. Why? Because they are less susceptible to failure if dropped or abused compared to a HDD.
No if you're talking about RAM but sometimes if you are replacing a HDD or SSD it can be that you are going to fork out another £70 or $100
