Is it worth buying an SSD?
| The specs are still top notch. Just grab a cheap ssd and you'll be amazed.^^
| Yes
| Yep.
| Yes. And a 1TB ssd is $200 right now
| Yes.
| is it 2012 again?
| o my god, once you go SSD you will never go (wd) black
| Its like 20eur to get a BX500 ssd and their amazing for a boot drive
| >>414351 If you want to get a large amount of space for a cheaper price try an SSHD also known as a hybrid drive, it operates both as a SSD and a hard drive, it's faster and cheaper.
| >>414955 SSHDs are crap. Often they use very cheap SSDs and cheap HDD units in there. It's like buying a Renault hybrid car. xD
@OP Just get a small brand SSD. Crucial, Kingston, Adata, Samsung (I hate those fuckers) or even SanDisk are fine. ^^ (probably also a few more)
| Dont forget how SSDs have a finite amount of writes/rewrites. Although you'd need about 5 years of 5gb worth of writes daily to wear it out. Just bear that in mind.
| >>415667 the performance gains is still totally worth it though, and hard disk failures isn't totally uncommon either

After that point the drive is still accessible read-only until you shut down. Unfortunately that almost never happens, usually it's the shitty cheap-ass controller that fails before the actual drive. Anyways, HDDs fail about every 5 years too.

| My hard drive died and I have to buy another one, but I don't want to spend a lot of money. My laptop is already slow, it has an I3 2377m and 4gb of RAM. So is it worth spending a little more for an SSD?
