Poll: Who has never used a SSD before?

[genexis_x]

Just a quick survey, who has never used a SSD before and only use HDD?

[ARikozuM]

This is likely not going to be unbiased if you're looking for project data.

Boot times dropped from over a minute to a few seconds switching from an HDD to an SSD. Great reviews. Would buy.

ive got an nvme m.2 one, i think that its the 950 pro, it makes a massive difference with game and program load times, it takes me about 5/10 seconds to load into a matchmaking server in csgo

Boot time of my PC is about 10 seconds with HDD (need some tweaking)

You added blue smoke to it, didn't you?

Oh, well do tell.

I don't believe in hard drives unless one has a large game/media library.

Sure it is.  

[NTDaws]

i was sick of my drive slowing down after a month so I switch to a SSD and SSHD for the fastest performance.

[Glennieboyyy007]

boot time from my last pc with a HDD and SATA I was 5,5 minutes, now with the new pc and ssd only 15 seconds, can go faster if i wanted

[Silentprototipe]

Lol! I have always had to use HDD's. My previous HDD was a slow as hell noisy Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD. Before that an even slower WD Caviar 160 GB HDD. Thank the lord that WD's Blue line up is actually decently fast

Everyone has used a SSD, but some don't even realize it.

Think of the electronic devices you have and you'll get it.

Well technically a flash drive is an SSD but nobody calls them SSDs because they are generally slow as fuck

Solid State Drive, means no moving parts, so the storage in a smartphone is also consider a SSD. Performance is another subject.

And have you even test out how fast your storage in your cell phone is?

They should name it MSATA to USB 3.0

Can measure it with PCMark for Android.

Well i adopted ssd ealy on. Got my first ssd back in 2011 with and crucial c300 64 gb and i never locked back again on hdd for os drive. Trust me when you first have tried ssd you will never want to return to hdd ever again.

 

Since then i am now owner of 4 ssd. An old crucial m4 64 gb now retired os drive and used for older games only because its old so i dont trust this drive any for importent files. Besides that samsung evo 850 250 gb and crucial mx300 275 gb only for games. Main os/c drive is a samsung 950 pro m.2 nvme 256 gb ssd and is also used as a game drive but mainly for os. All put in a old x58 system and works flawless.

 

If you havent tryed an ssd yet and are still on hhd. Its about dam time you try an ssd.
