SSD vs HDD vs SSHD

[OCD-FREAK]

hi all !

i want to ask which storage setup is best for development - pentesting - 3D autocad

is it:

1- 1TB SSHD + 1TB HDD (5400rpm)

2- 250GB SSD + 1TB HDD (5400rpm)

3- 1TB HDD (7200rpm) + 1TB HDD (5400rpm)

any opinions are more than appreciated.

2 but a little different

For see get the 850 evo 256 GB (last long + fast)

For hdd I whould save a bit more and get something like the Toshiba p300 3tb. ( 3tb is about double the price of a 1 tb (about 40 more)  and you get triple the storage. It's better for the price. Trust me you will need a bigger one latter on and you will end up spending more)

Option 2 without a shadow of a doubt

 

SSD as a primary is faster acces both random and seq of big and small files, you will notice the difference

However 5400rpm is garbage, consider a 7200rpm like a Seagate Barracuda

SSHD is like a McDonalds with gold shavings, yeah it has its good points but it's still just a hamburger. I would go with SSD + HD (7200 rpm).

Wait is this for a laptop?

^ The above cost < $250 and should last for many years. (you can save 30 dollars by going with a less reliable HDD)

 

Use the 500 GB for current projects and the 3TB for archiving old data.

You should not be using a HDD boot drive in 2017 unless the machine is just serving the most basic of uses (plex server maybe, maybe NAS?) and cost like $200 or less.

 

Get the SSD

thank you so much guys... i will be doing alot of 3D autocad design and heavy development.. so an SSHD is not really good? 

and yeah we are talking about a laptop 

 

thanks alot !
