SSD or HDD?

Would you rather get 50GB HDD? Or 30GB SSD? Both the same specs and price, what would you choose?

  • Is this to be the only drive in the system? If it was 500GB HDD vs 300GB SSD, I would say 300GB SSD all the way. But with only a few tens of GB, space will be more important than performance.

  • Depends on the application, probably HDD. :)

  • Well, I'm talking from a virtual server stance.

  • i'd take the SSD....

    Depends. Can you fit it all under 30gb? if so SSD. If you can't HDD...

  • If vm ssd would be better.

  • I'm thinking though that in a crowded environment that the SSD would rule because it'd be able to handle it all better.

    SSD Cache is usually used on servers who use hard drives for storage.

  • SSD

  • If it's 12GB SSD vs 80GB HDD (Ramnode), probably HDD. But in the case of 30GB SSD vs 50GB HDD, definitely SSD.

  • See it depends. Because id take an ZXPlay HDD box over any SSD host. He has about a 12 disk array in hardware raid 10 which gets a 1GB/s+ IO.

    mercedes or bmw ?


    which model you must ask ?

    mercedes S550 vs Bmw 110D > I choose mercedes.

    Bmw M7 vs Mercedes B 180 > I choose Bmw

    So if a provider uses low consumer grade SSD with huge space offering such as Kingston shitty SSD's I prefer Raid10 SAS with SSD cache,

    but if a provider uses Samsung Pro's or Intel SSD's in Raid 10 I will choose it.

    So, How do you know?

    you gave us not enough information.

    choose wisely...

  • Go for the SSD if you do not exceed 30GB. And if you do so, get both :)
