QUOTE(Tainted @ Nov 6 2015, 06:58 PM) Hi. I don't need a high capacity one so 128gb is enough. I am also not sure what type is it? But is it a lot of work to clone the OS from one to the other? I don't recommend cloning from HDD to SSD. The blocks arrangement of SSD is totally different from HDD. It will still work but it will take some performance penalty. |

QUOTE(DS_Legacy @ Nov 11 2015, 10:34 AM) Yes, SSD can read files faster at the average speed more than 300mb/s while most of the HDD can only read files at the average speed around 100mb/s The biggest difference is actually not sequential read/write. It's random read/write performance that matters the most for normal usage. The difference is 50-100x compared to HDD. Yes, enclosure is not expensive. Last time I bought ClipTec 2.5” USB 2.0 SATA Harddisk SSD HDD Enclosure for the price less than RM30. Quite reliable.  QUOTE(portsmouth @ Nov 11 2015, 01:19 PM) Are external ssd hdd worth getting? Depending on your usage. If you just need to copy movies which are sequential in nature, it's not worth it. A normal HDD is fast enough. |
