I want to get a new laptop and wonder what memory do I need?
1TB SSD or 500GB SSD + 1TB HDD?
I'm not going to play on the laptop, I will need it for CAD programming for school. I also don't want the laptop to make a lot of noise.
I ask for answers!
You can only install two hard drives in a few laptops, then your choice would be limited. It essentially depends on how much storage space you need.
As I said, I'll get a laptop, nothing to be installed.
It doesn't matter if it's already there or not. How much memory do you need is the question.
I advise the hybrid solution. An SSD for the system and a hard drive for the data.
A laptop hard drive isn't too loud. The fan makes a lot more noise.
If you have a larger archive with drawings, you should store them on a hard drive, which should be available quickly, rather on the SSD.
Not much, I mainly need it for school. Games and stuff I will hardly install.
Then an SSD with 500 - 1000 GB will be enough for you.
Thank you!
The variant with the 500 SSD and 1 TB HD is the smarter one.
The data is stored more securely on the HD than on the SSD. Then of course it has the disadvantage that it is slower. With CAD drawings, however, this is completely irrelevant. I.e. System on SSD so that everything is nice and fast, data on the HD so that everything is safely stored.
If you don't want to install large games on your laptop, you should get by with a 500 GB SSD.
So based on your question, I would recommend the 1 TB SSD.
HDDs are louder and need more power and are of course slower. And in your case you'd only have +0.5 TB anyway, and that's not a huge gain compared to the disadvantages of the HDD.
That data on the HDD would be more secure than on an SSD is just a rumor, in fact it is actually more that HDDs tend to fail more often than SSDs.
As always, there's always a risk, so important data should always be saved in a second location as a backup.
I personally would only use an SSD. In my opinion, an HDD is no longer up-to-date (various reasons).
Depending on the size of these CAD files, a 500 GB SSD will be sufficient.
Unfortunately, that's wrong, because you can restore an HD sooner after a crash than an SSD - and that's just one example. Believe me, I haven't done anything but computer support for years. In the server area, SSDs are gradually emerging, but these are not SSDs that you can get in stores.
So that it's a rumor is pretty wrong and won't have changed for a few years to the fact that SSDs are better. We haven't got that far today, and certainly not in private life.
Hmm, ok, so if it's your experience I won't mind. 😊
In articles I've read, including From Ontrack, they say that the risk is greater with HDDs.
If you act mechanically on the HD:-)
Yes, that's right, 😂 many HDDs are defective because they have experienced vibrations, HDDs should be treated like raw eggs and not think they are robust.
