Even if he has only 256 GB instead of 1000 GB for HDD?
The fact is that SSDs are much better. The start times of the computer and programs are much shorter, the computer is generally more fluid.
Of course, you need to know how much you need. Of course, if you need more than 250 GB, you have to take the larger hard drive, because what brings a fast SSD when it is full and you can't save anything on it?
If you do not necessarily need that much memory, the SSD is better.
"Better" is in the eye of the beholder.
The slowest SSD is definitely much faster than an HDD. SSDs are smaller, lighter, more energy efficient, less sensitive to impact, etc.
However, they offer significantly less storage space for the money.
An HDD has deutzutage actually only the raison d'être as mass storage, or if you have to turn every euro. But if not so much space is needed, because on the PC e.g. Only Netflix is looked, there goes also a small SSD, because a large HDD you get there anyway not fully.
So you have to think about what you want to do and if you have about 238 GB (gigabytes in Gibibyte converted) sufficient, then take the SSD. If not, but you want to have the extra power, then look for the next larger variant.
Or take the HDD, but then you have to live with the disadvantages.
One way or the other, you should be able to replace 2.5 inch HDDs with 2.5 inch SSDs on many notebooks and vice versa. Both use the same interface (SATA) and the same form factor. Some notebooks offer maintenance covers, others do not. For some notebooks, you can't swap anything, but they tend to be more like tablets than notebooks.
If this works, you will most likely find out through tests.
If it is an NVMe SSD, then you can't swap, because not only the interface (NVMe) is different, the form factor (usually M.2) is very different.
In any. Not only because of the access speed, but also and above all because an SSD is insensitive to impact. In a mobile computer a not to be underestimated advantage. In addition, there's another huge advantage in energy consumption. Such an SSD storage requires much less power, which is very accommodating for the battery life
