La it better to run Windows on an ssd driver than an hdd driver ? ( ssd like Samsung 860 evo)

It'll be more responsive and faster to boot.

Agreed, but consider wether you actually need that speed. While it definitely has an impact, consider the use case of the computer. Will 30 secs really make that much of a difference to you(psst... use hibernate instead of shutdown when going away for long periods, and sleep for less than an hour). You're welcome.

Hi @Alex_Mat94.

Basically both @APasz and @adithyay328 have a point there. The OS (and thus your whole system will be much faster and responsive) if you decide to use an SSD. I wouldn't say that it's up to personal preference, as I can't imagine anyone not wanting an SSD and a faster system, but it could be a matter of whether it fits your budget or not. If this is the case you'd have a choice between a slower system with larger storage capacity and a faster one with less available disk space, so you should choose carefully while keeping in mind what you plan on using the computer for.

Cheers!

Well, the cost of an SSD(the money, as well as the reliability sacrifices) are pretty high. I'm just saying that boot times, IMO, are really the only things where you'll see a noticeable difference, SSD VS HDD. So, be wary when picking.

So only the boot time whill be faster anyting else is going to be the same as having it on a HDD?

It's up to you. Do you want speed or do you need space?

SSD's are more expensive per gigabyte but are much faster so windows and applications will be more responsive. Generally up to 2tb.

HDD's are much cheaper per gigabyte but are much slower so windows and applications will be less responsive. Generally up 10tb.
