SSD vs. HDD?

[Steven Titchenell]

Will my PC run faster with an SSD than it does with an HDD?

 

[Darren]

Yes?

 

[Steven Titchenell]

You're not sure either?

No he's sure. SSD's are way faster then an HDD, boots up in seconds.

 

[Totally_Lost]

Definitely faster with an SSD.

The question mark was more at the question in general. That's the whole point, kind of like asking if a Ferrari is faster than a Honda. SSD's are night and day difference.

It kind of depends what you mean by run faster.

Operations that involve storage are much more responsive. You get exponential improvements when also reading and writing to the same drive at the same time over a hard drive. Crap like Windows will be a lot snappier.

Computationally (CPU, GPU), no difference although some games that stream textures like MMOs will be perceptibly smoother (storage operations)

He gave you a question mark because the difference is enormous.

l. That's the whole point, kind of like asking if a Ferrari is faster than a Honda.

No difference if there are speed limit/ congestion on the road

Psh speed limits.
