I have a SATA 3 WD 1TB HDD that is 6Gb/s and if I buy a SSD it is also rated at 6Gb/s however the SSD cost 10 times more for each byte so what am I missing?
A standard HDD will never reach 6 gb/s. Even a 3gb/s drive is all the fast its gonna get. An SSD is 10x faster than a HDD.
They put the 6gb/s on the HDDs so people know its compatible with 6gb/s ports on the motherboards.
A SATA 3 hard drive is rated at 6 gb/s which is in therory. A SSD is rated at 6 gb/s so how is that 10 times faster?
I took a look at some other sites and posts and it's partly about access time and so forth so I think I'm understanding better and will get a 60 Gig SSD for my OS, Thanks
