Want to choose SSD or HDD?

 So, you're looking for a laptop. You go to the store and are presented with two different laptops. Both are of the same price and both appeal to you. But there's one major difference: one uses a hard disk drive (HDD) while the other uses a solid state drive (SSD). Now, you're faced with a major dilemma: which storage type is the better one?

    In today's article, we'll be explaining to you the differences between these two storage types. Both have their own major pros and cons that can make or break the decision for you. Read through this article to find out which one is best for you.

1. Price.

    Between the two, SSDs are priced much higher than HDDs. This is because it is used in brand new technology more often than HDDs. If you're buying a new laptop model, it will most likely have a SSD as its storage system. HDDs are more often used by older technology hence the price is unlikely to become more expensive in the future. However, do note that some low-end SSDs are almost the same price as a HDD.

2. Capacity.

    2TB SSDs are harder to be found and even those are expensive. You are more likely to find 500GB or 1TB SSDs if you were searching for an SSD with a large capacity. If you are someone who works in media creation or another field that requires you to have a large storage system, this can be concerning. This is why you should instead go for a HDD since HDDs are available from 1TBs to 8TBs. Yes, you can use cloud storage but having your very own local storage can come in handy sometimes and save more money.

3. Speed.

    The S in SSD can also mean speed. SSDs are much preferred by consumers since it has a higher speed than HDDs. With an SSD, your laptop will boot, launch and run apps, and transfer files much quicker than HDD. Nobody likes waiting and that's why SSDs are the more popular option between the two.
