Does this SSD exist

[kuddlesworth9419]

Is there an SSD that is as fast as a HDD with similar storage capacities for the price and is just as cheap as a HDD or just a little more expensive. I would love if someone would make something like this as I don't like the sound of HDD's running.

we don't got that

maybe WD greens or something

Sound like you're looking for a hybrid harddrive. http://www.seagate.com.edgekey.net/gb/en/internal-hard-drives/solid-state-hybrid/laptop-solid-state-hybrid-drive/

No.

[Sauron]

To be honest I'm pretty sure it would cost more to make an ssd that is as slow than a hdd than it is to make a normal one...

solid state hybrid drive, such as this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-ST1000DX001-Hybrid-Internal-Solid/dp/B00ELAVIQ0/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1403706965&sr=1-2&keywords=solid+state+hard+drive

he wants a drive that doesnt make any noises, but doesnt cost as much as an ssd

[Paralectic]

500GB SSDs are like 200-230 bucks.

He could try putting loads of sound dampening foam around a hard drive:L

Then he can buy a hard drive silencer.

SSDs are fast because of the way they work, making them as slow as an HDD wouldn't make them any cheaper.

If you just want the drive to be more quiet then WD Red's or WD Greens will be your best bet. They are currently the quietest drives I can find that aren't SSD's.

 

PS: Also look into using noise dampening foam in your case to reduce sound.

hard disk drives need a little air flow. sound dampen the case itself perhaps

this. maybe just look for cheap used ones then would be your best bet. but what your saying doesn't exist.

 

its like a 4 cylinder compared to a v8, you cant detune the v8 to get the same mpg as the 4 cylinder. 

[Fred Castellum]

So basically.... you want a HDD without the sound, because you just asked for a traditional HDD lol. 

[Bob]

You can buy a small ssd and a large hdd and use intel smart response to cache the data on the ssd and then transfer it to the hdd.

Yea I already own a 500GB Evo but what I want is something that I can use for mass storage like a 4TB SSD for the same price as a HDD or a little over. Has same performance as a HDD as well. Performance doesn't matter to me for mass storage as when I game it's off an SSD but all my programs otherwise are on the SSD. Some games go onto my SSD, games I keep installed stay on my SSD.

[kuddlesworth9419]

I might just get a bunch of used Ebay SSD's like the Sandisk ones and RAID 0 them for stupid performance. But even then the price is high. Corsairs LX is promising although it's not much cheaper than the EVO I bought. They could use a cheap controller and cheap flash to cut the costs but I would imagine the SSD would die quicker and that isn't what I want. 

[Guest Generallee]

Just buy a damn USB stick 

[biggiepk]

just buy a headphones and no noise at all

The SSD is even faster than this 120GB HDD! You win! Go buy it!

[IdeaStormer]

If you have a lot of SD cards lying around this can do the job as well!
