By: Evgeny Padezhnov
Key takeaways (based on publicly available data):
Total:
It is necessary to take a reliable SSD tested by users, and this is mainly SAMSUNG, which "for mysterious" reasons is 1.5 / 2 times more expensive - this is a contribution to your peace of mind. My choice fell on SAMSUNG T7
- HDD is always slower than SSD (especially when reading/writing many different files, those are not linear activities)
- SSDs have different technologies for speed and reliability (do you need a flash drive or a reliable drive to work with?)
- There are SSDs cheaper 2 / 1.5 times cheaper - they are not worth taking (reliability and speed, they will return to you and most likely very soon)
