Why are computers still sold without SSDs?

No matter on desktop or laptops. In my opinion, mechanical hard drives are only suitable as "data graves".

Are there any other reasons than "cheaper"

So I have no problem with HDDs, just not as a system disk.

Because they are still cheaper and then offer more storage space

And let's be honest: Very few people who buy such notebooks / PCs know whether the hardware is

And personally, as well as in the company, I generally drive two tracks: SSD for the operating system as well as programs and a hard drive for documents, own files and the like

What else besides the cheaper argument?

You can advertise with ample storage, regardless of whether it comes from an SSD or an HDD. First of all, 1000GB storage sounds awesome. And 1000GB - 2000GB in the form of an HDD is cheap. OK that brings us back to the cheap argument.

I can also imagine that there are various price reductions for a whole range of HDDs, the main thing is that you get the warehouse empty yourself, as modern SSDs that everyone wants. But if the argument would be price = cheaper again.

Probably because HDDs offer more storage space due to their low price.

For example:

A 500gb SSD costs around 100 euro

A 4tb HDD costs around 100 euro

So with an HDD you have 8x more storage space than with an SSD in the same price range… Although the HDD is slower, it just has more capacity

Ever now. The significant price difference between SSD and HDD is of course decisive in the home sector, but there are other reasons as well.

For example, failures in SSDs are usually associated with the risk of total data loss. Because in contrast to HDDs, with SSDs there's only a very small possibility of saving data from defective chips. In this regard, HDDs are in many cases the better choice, despite the risk of mechanical defects. Sure, you can of course combine a small SSD for the OS with a large HDD. Then you have to live with the fact that you manually edit the installation path of the program with each installation so that C: does not fill up all the time.

A 500gb SSD costs around 100 euro

Count on 50 euro

I actually wanted to write 1tb… I made a mistake and referred to the number above with the memory

Of course I meant a 1tb SSD and then only the resulting x4 factor
