But why do you need an SSD for music and video? Is not the speed of a HDD enough for this kind of things?
(On a side note.. I have both the page file and hibernation disabled.)
- cm2187 11y agoYou can't really fit many drives in an ultra-book laptop. Yes I could use a HDD for that but I'd rather not have any HD in a laptop (because of noise, resistance to shocks, reliability and power consumption) and I want my system, programs and non multimedia data to be on SSD for speed and performance consistency over time.
- odabaxok 11y agoI am still not convinced, I still feel like an 4 TB SSD is an overkill for a laptop (or my use-cases are really different from yours). Noise? Reliability? HDDs are getting better at these things too, I have never had problems with that. Power consumption? It consumes zero power, when you do not access your multimedia data. Resistance to shocks? Yeah, that is a thing for HDDs, but it must be a really hard shock (also it has to run), if you want to hurt it. EDIT: I do not want to sound like I am against you or against the SSDs. SSDs are awesome! I just feel like the correct tools should be used for the correct tasks and I am just curious what is the purpose of an 4 TB SSD, because it somehow does not fill into my use-cases (again, I use the same 64 GB SSD for 5 years now and I feel like I will never need nothing bigger, if Windows installation does not get dramatically bigger in the future).
- cm2187 11y agoInterestingly, on reliability, I have read many stories about SSDs failing but I never experienced one myself. Something I cannot say of HDD. I typically use Intel and Samsung SSDs, and desktop and consumer NAS HDD.
