Solid State Drive Ssd Vs Hdd

I recently got a SanDisk 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive) and used a drive cloning device to clone my old 1TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to the new SSD. It works wonders in my 15 year old computer! It really speeds up drive-related activities, perhaps as much as 3 or 4 times faster. I think my old HP laptop computer is either a SATA or SATA II type, so I suspect those with a SATA III system would see even better speed results when going from a HDD to a SSD. Gotta love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't figure out why I was opposed to ordering my new computer with a Solid State Drive instead of a HDD. Perhaps I was leery of the technology. I since replaced the HDD with the Samsung 860 Pro Solid State Drive. Before it to several minutes for the system to boot, now it is almost instantaneous. The overall performance of my system has increased 100 fold. Kudos to Samsung for their continuously innovative products. They made me a believer.

Solid state drive worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this solid state drive as a boot disk for one of my mini pc's. It was a quick and easy install. By putting the OS on the ssd, the pc boots up and starts so much faster than it used to. 120gb isn't a huge amount, nowadays, but it is enough to put most of my regular use programs on and run the peripherals off the external hard drive. I'm currently building a gaming pc and will incorporate ssd boot up in it, for sure.

This device makes a solid state drive (SSD) compatible for a Mac Pro. The hard drive slides that come with the computer only mount 3.5 inch drives. This enables you to take advantage of the new SSD's fast speed and reliability. It comes with four mounting screws so that you can mount your SSD (sold separately).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for a Solid State Drive with faster speed. The Kingston A400 - 120GB Solid State Drive Is much faster than the standard SSD that came in my gaming computer. I feel like the drive really improves the speed and quality of my computer. I would completely recommend the Kingston A400 120GB Solid State Drive to anyone that is looking to improve the quality of their SSD.

One of my new years resolutions/projects was to get away from HDD/spindle drives completely and get my entire digital life on SSD. This would require a 16TB drive and the only two choices at this time were the Glyph Blackbox and Oyen Digital MiniPro RAID V4. I use a Glyph 2TB Blackbox at work and it seems stable and solid. But I chose the Oyen for a few reasons. The price difference of $600. The RAID option to have two separate SSDs actually works better for my purpose. I have an inflexible, rigid archive of files that is just under 8TB and just fits in one of the drives, and I use the other drive for current projects and files. The ability to daisy chain was the deal maker for me, and requires the power adaptor which is provided. After reformatting both drives I successfully transferred the 8TB archive files over although it took FOREVER going thru a USB A hub. Now that I think about it, I am surprised how many drives on the market (both SSD and HDD) don't have daisychaining. I have always been a believer in solid state memory going back to the microdrive vs CF Card photography days at the turn of the millenium. Since that time the durability and speed of solid state has been firmly established, but the prohibitive costs have made it difficult to switch over. While I wouldn't exactly call the Oyen MiniPro RAID exactly cheap, the cost per terabyte ratio is doable for me. And it certainly is nice not to have to wait for HDDs to spin up anymore or worry about moving parts. If the Oyen holds up as well as I hope, I will be getting another to daisychain for a backup unit.

Made swapping out an older HDD for a SSD drive easy.
