I always hear people saying that SSD's are faster than a traditional HDD's. However when I put them both on a desk, neither of them moved. What a lie ! 🤔😕😒😘😆😜🤓👍
Had us in the first half, ngel
IM WEAKKK
You made my day 😂
Bro 😂😂😂
Well played 😂😂
I don't know what people mean when they say “durable”.
I have used at least 6 different SSDs over the last 10 years (not anymore) in different computers and none have lasted more than two and a half years. They have all died suddenly without any prior notification or indication of failure; whatever you have stored will be lost if you don’t keep baking it up.
On the other hand, I have HDDs that are still fully operational after 20 years of use. In fact, I have an old Mac Mini 2006, which is completely obsolete and I use it only as a media reader/player, it still has its original HDD and works like a charm after 18 years.
If you want to talk about DURABILITY, that’s what durability really means in my book.
Yes, SSDs are ultra fast (I love that), but they die at any moment and you will lose everything (I hate that).
HDDs can be sickeningly slow, but they are D-U-R-A-B-L-E.
So if you want to use an SSD, that’s fine, but make sure you have an HDD as well to back it up.
Great information. Thank you. You nailed it and supported why I don't think I'll be straying from HDD storage in my next, new, Windows 11 desktop, tower pc (when we lose our Windows 10 support next year), even though pc manufacturers are now making fewer and fewer pcs w/HDDs.
I have heard otherwise that hdd have complaints in the long run - I'm planning to buy a storage option but am confused whether to go with HDD or SSD
@@emceeshah3924for storage option I will advice u get the HDD for backup anytime. I have HDD for all my systems and 1terrabyte HDD of more than 10yrs+ and still working fine in 2024. U can decide to get an SSD for Ur everyday laptop but back it up on HDD
@@emceeshah3924 go with both ssd as a main driver and hdd to store stuff
I'm new to all this, so I apologize in advance.
I am looking to storing (copies) my photos in a secondary backup, which would either be an ssd or hdd but I don't know which to go with. I have a phone, but I don't trust Google photos or their cloud.
I want a long-term one. Every month or depending on how much pictures I take, I will put them in one of those 2 options. I want something that I can easily recover data from in case it gets damaged or accessing it after a couple of decades ( I don't know if that's possible)
A few questions if you don't mind.
Are these secured? If one steals it, can they access my data?
The photos that I will put into them, how does the date, time, and location get affected? For example, let's say I took a photo on 08/02/2024 at 8am and put it into both of them, and a year later, I want to put it in a different phone or let's say a computer, will the date, and time change?
How long does a hdd last, and can I keep it forever until I run out of storage, or should I upgrade, and how often?
How fast is a hdd compared to a sdd?
Thanks in advance!
I feel hdd is better for long term storage. SSD is better for files you will be accessing often.
SSD is just better
@@d.d5619except for long term apparently
@@d.d5619 SSD is solely better for performance... Its only best used for a computer...If you want to have a backup storage.. , and no plan to run any operating system on it.. HDD will be better... Since its not affected much by read/write cycles.
So in conclusion.. internal storage, SSD better.. ,external storage,HDD...
That’s the beauty of having a PC as well. You can get multiple storage slots and keep a massive HDD for etc.
Bro you have no idea how much this just helped me. I just got my first gaming PC a week ago and I got a 2 TB HDD rather than a 1 TB SSD. I was wondering why everything is taking so damn long to load….. it has legit been a struggle. Booting up the PC takes about 3-5 minutes… starting a game takes 3-5 minutes… downloading and transfers… it’s unbelievable how far tech has come in this sense
Happy to hear it was helpful. Enjoy the new rig!
A year later, the price argument mostly goes away other than for very large devices. I just installed a 2TB Samsung SSD (not a cheapie brand) for $100.
That's a steel that's normally 200
How did you get that? Is it a SATA SSD?
Go with SSD, especially NVMe. HDD takes forever load and exit the game and also assets pop-in often due to their large size.
Good advice, but most of us aren't rich like Elon!
@@swallowedinthesea11 It's not 2016 anymore. You can pick up 1 TB of NVMe for under £100
@@swallowedinthesea11 Also back when I bought a drive. It was £120 for a 1TB gaming hard drive. Yes, hard drive. Not SATA SSD or NVMe.
@qwert.6969 It is! I bought a Crucial 500GB SSD for $25 USD not too long ago.
@qwert.6969 actually yeah, not bad at all
1:30 There actually were some cars that had record players in them. Chryslers had them in the 1950s and early '60s.
That is a terrible idea though. Imaging storing vinyl records in that hot environment.
Great video!
I also recommend making backup files onto the Cloud. If both the HDD and SSD fail, you still have everything important in the Cloud.
@@shikhahalasiry2412 True, but what alternative is there? I have 270GB of data on the Cloud. I could have saved them onto an external HD or SSD, but those also can get damaged or lost. There's also the possibility of the Cloud getting compromised or hacked, but I don't see any other way.
no way cloud can fail to and has M-disks bluray is my go to and then hd what i here @@swallowedinthesea11
You explain things so well! The puns were funny too, thank you!
All I can think about is the og ipod. I drop mine and the hard drive didn't break, but it definitely got damaged to the point of giving a loud wirrrr whenever I turned it on. It'd also click and whirrrrr everytime you changed a song. Still, those things were badass
Don't imagine people intentionally dropping their desktops
Let's talk lifespan tho cus people saying they be lasting them months to 3 years before death from a SSD
HDD will die faster compared to SSD.
Most of my relatives are spending their earnings for some expensive SSDs for their PCs
So that's why whenever i visit them, their rooms has lots of unused HHDs.
😅
But if i need the storage for a long term of use with high rate of writing no matter the speed was what should i buy?!
I loved the introduction 😂😂😂😂so i'm subscribing 😂🤣🤣😂😂
bruh 💀💀u talkin about the "edge" part or the drive pun?
How do I utilise the SSD and HDD for a video editing software? Is it possible to download the software onto my SSD but store the video editing data on the HDD?
Yes it is. Install the software on the SSD and then in the software set your data location on the HDD
@@ZK-APA Thank you kind sir!
I have a lot of old pics on SD cards.... will they disappear if not powered in a camera?
yes, I would suggest store to simple CD or DVD.
And SSD lifespan is much better compared to HDD.
I was given a “GA-Z170XP-SLI without a hard drive. Can I put a SSD on this motherboard or do I need a SATA? Also which SSD or SATA would you recommend?
@joemygawd Thanks for the question. That's not a product we've ever sold, but we would suggest referring to your system or motherboard product manual. In terms of which type of hard drive to use, that will depend on your needs. Here are the ones we offer: www.onlogic.com/computers/components/storage/
Good video, informative 👍 thanks
I plan on getting a 1tb nvme drive but i wanna know if its worth keeping my 2tb hdd i already had for software other than games and general files. I wont lie I dont know if it works like that or not. Just so i have more game space and im not loading up my drives close to max
Everybody says SSD's don't work for long-term storage though.
Yes.. and thats the tradeoff you will see , for better speeds.... So yeah.. For a running pc, SSD better..
But just for sake of storing data, and not accessing frequently,, hdd is better
I love the puns u put in your videos 😁
That warms our hearts!
^Okay, what would you recommend for someone who connects it every few months to back up their computer. for me pictures are the most important and other than that i back up the document section on my laptop... so i delete on my hardrive and upload again. I don't move my hardrive often but worry about the one time it may fall... you never know
Backup files onto the Cloud. If both the HDD and SSD fail, you still have everything important in the Cloud.
No moving parts... Ok. 😀👌... So ssd are like flash ram, but the storage is permanent... 🤔
It doesn't matter I made a big mistake on getting traditional HDD's Even though I think they are much durable... but the gaming industry is getting to SSD's requirements such as star wars outlaws, NBA 2k 25... and ya know what... I think it's better to have Hard drives than SSD's.... but who knows how far technology expands... one day there will be a time where SSD's will become second rate. (once we reach lightspeed rates with 32k res with 200fps
I am planning on buying one, from pictures and videos, witch one should I buy for it to last mind you.
Explained very well.
Thank you!

Thanks for the questions. There are a lot of factors that will impact your particular experience with a hard drive, and SSD technology is constantly evolving, but here are some broad responses to your questions.
Many photographers and other professionals who store a large quantity of image files prefer HDDs for long-term storage because of cost, durability, and data recovery ease. HDDs can often provide higher capacity at a lower cost per gigabyte (though the gap is closing). While HDDs are more susceptible to physical damage, they can reliably retain data for a long time when properly stored, whereas unpowered SSDs can suffer from data loss. Similarly, data recovery can be a more simple and effective process for HDDs (though this isn't always the case).
In terms of security, neither SSDs nor HDDs inherently provide stronger security. If your drive is stolen, the data on it can be accessed. To protect your data, you should encrypt your drives using encryption software.
The date, time, and location data (metadata) embedded in your photos will be preserved when you copy them to an SSD or HDD. This information is part of the photo file itself and will remain unchanged.
HDDs can last for many years, often a decade or more, with proper care. However, technology advances, and you might consider upgrading for performance or capacity reasons. The frequency of upgrades depends on your needs. If you're simply archiving photos, you might not need to upgrade very often.
SSDs are significantly faster than HDDs for reading and writing data. However, for long-term storage where you're primarily accessing data infrequently, this speed difference is less critical.
As I'm sure you can imagine, there are a WIDE array of opinions on this topic, and everyone's experience and needs are different, but we hope this was helpful. Thanks for watching!
@@OnLogic thank you very much!!
They're all good just depends with the purpose of the user
What is the best for your phone to backup?
what is HDD presented in 5he video
who everyone buy hard disk drive (HDD) seagate 1TB in 2023. foreign whole of the world love hard disk drive (HDD) seagate 1TB missing you.
im ultra sensitive to fan and buzzing noise are SSDs quieter? or HHDs
HHDs do sometimes make audible noise when reading or writing information. Solid state drives have no moving parts, so nothing to make any noise.
I honestly just want to use my laptop for social media, which would be better for me?@@OnLogic
If you're bothered by the extremely low noise of a Hard Drive, you should be a member of the Justice League.
Oh my gosh that made me giggle I have hearing loss nd seensory issues so everyday noise that most people can ignore bother me and annoy me. I often wonder if I'm highly functional person on the spectrum but definitely a highly asenaitive person who needs a certain amount of alone and quiet time everyday just to function without freaking out and having meltdowns lol @@bencapra3801
Which is better for DAW music production?
SSD! Wouldn’t want to lose those projects from accidentally dropping your hard drive. I also just corrupted a hard drive with my drums on them from accidentally ejected it 😢
However, for backup. I would use a HDD. Especially if it’s just going to be sitting somewhere and not using it constantly. That way you can save even your oldest projects. Hope this helps! Might need both of them. HDD for storing older projects and SSD for on the go/recent & current projects/drums/ audio files if you’re constantly changing computers.
Great informative video thanks love
Thank you it was helpful
Ok but which is better for games or generally my pc, like i boughed MW2019 but hell it 258ish GB Way more than my pc can handle
If you can only choose one, go for a SSD now and then add a hard drive later for your games library
So I want to rip my bluray movies and store them on one drive which is best hdd or ssd in my case? Thanks
HDD, because you need more storage space over higher speed

haha stupid me ! I just bought a used laptop and thought HDD meant High Definition Display,its ok still happy with my purchase
I almost skipped this video. Glad that I didn't.

So helpful ❤😊
Glad it was helpful!
Would an array of HDDs in RAID be faster than an SSD?
No way
No HDD’s are ~200 MB/s, Gen4 NVME SDD’s are ~6,000 MB/s and faster. You’d need 30 HDDs interacting perfectly to come close.
My 1tb HDD is so loud and takes so long to find stuff, I'm glad my windows OS drive is an SSD if it was an hard drive when I start my PC it would go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (I use 2 drives)
Anyone catch anything he said?
Bro your underrated

What about for storing pictures, videos, and documents?
Thanks for the question. Both work just fine for storing pictures, videos, and documents. HDD is, generally, the more cost effective option while SSDs often allow for faster transfer of files.
Nice
The camera is over this way dear

I always use HDD, ssd is mad expensive for no reason, like u really spendimg 100 dollars more to wait 4 seconds less, lmao
Time is money
@@damiandigitaldude5531 i have both, but hdd is so stupidly cheap that the only reason to use sdd is to boot up or play pcvr

Why did the HDD break up with the SSD?
Because it couldn't handle their speed-dating lifestyle!
Did you a Solid(SD)? The dry humor was a little Hard(DD) to stomach =)
Lol I was like number 400🎉🎉🎉🎉
I don't like hdd. They are noisy like CPU fan.
e
tooooo much jargon
ssd vs hdd is this a joke i mean come on. ssd last very long also and it has no moving parts. hdd are long dead and ssd are 5-10x+ faster even a 1TB ssd is $60 now.
Yea for 95% of consumer use case ssds are it, but like the guy said, hdds are still applicable today for certain specific cases like massive data storage lol
@@quintit yes. For storage it's still good. For the operative system ssd is better.
Too much BS generalization and illogical statement made by him.
