Hi, I'm currently looking for a laptop and have found one, it is available with 1000 GB HDD and 256 GB SSD and then it is still only with SSD. The price is as good as the same.
Should I take the HDD or not?
If there are two slots for SATA, this is useful, so that the operating system on the much faster SSD, and the programs can be installed on the HDD (and should). Large SSD drives with 1 TB or more are still very expensive and if you want to install a lot of programs and / or games, 256 GB are quite fast.
HDD is unnecessary if this is not a data grave
Well, then just install Office, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Battlefield V on a 256 SSD and marvel at how quickly you get space issues…
So should I take SSD and HDD?
Assassin's Creed + Battlefield = Data Grave
And if it's a gaming lappy? Then you need the TB-HDD (or inverstierst 300 euro for a TB-SSD).
Jupp, if you want to gamble, definitely.
How big is the SSD with the "only SSD variant"?
Also 256
Then take both. It would be better if you instead of the combination of 256 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD could take a larger SSD, so z. B. From 500 GB. But that's probably not available.
Depends on it, if there's the HDD for free, you can take it, the part just a little harder. A 1T 2.5 plate should otherwise cost around 50 euro. One must pay for the HDD, e.g. By a smaller / worse SSD or other smears I would not take her.
HDD's are rather inappropriate for laptop, since they need a lot of power and are susceptible to vibration.
Should I take now 1000GB HDD and 256GB SSD or only 256GB SSD
Take with HDD. Then expand and sell HDD or use as an external disk (buy housing (costs about 5 euro)).
Why?
HDDs are shock sensitive than SSD. HDD consume additional energy.
If you could choose the size of the SSD, I would even advise you to a SSD with about 500GB (~ 80 euro).
An internal 250GB SSD is sufficient for the operating system and some application programs (80-110GB). For games and other data, you must then restrict yourself. Then an external hard drive on a USB 3.x connection would be highly recommended. And several USB sticks, or SD cards as a disk.
With a 500GB SSD, you'll just have more air for larger data.
And most modern notebooks can do both: m2-SSD plus Sata3-HDD.
