When it comes to storing data on your computer, you have quite a few options. One key decision you'll have to make is whether you want to use traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), or solid state drives (SSDs). But what's the difference? And how do you know which is best for your particular build? In this episode of Tech Edge, dive deep with us into your data storage options and learn about the advantages and disadvantages of both.

I don't know what people mean when they say “durable”. I have used at least 6 different SSDs over the last 10 years (not anymore) in different computers and none have lasted more than two and a half years. They have all died suddenly without any prior notification or indication of failure; whatever you have stored will be lost if you don’t keep baking it up. On the other hand, I have HDDs that are still fully operational after 20 years of use. In fact, I have an old Mac Mini 2006, which is completely obsolete and I use it only as a media reader/player, it still has its original HDD and works like a charm after 18 years. If you want to talk about DURABILITY, that’s what durability really means in my book. Yes, SSDs are ultra fast (I love that), but they die at any moment and you will lose everything (I hate that). HDDs can be sickeningly slow, but they are D-U-R-A-B-L-E. So if you want to use an SSD, that’s fine, but make sure you have an HDD as well to back it up.

Great information. Thank you. You nailed it and supported why I don't think I'll be straying from HDD storage in my next, new, Windows 11 desktop, tower pc (when we lose our Windows 10 support next year), even though pc manufacturers are now making fewer and fewer pcs w/HDDs.

Bro you have no idea how much this just helped me. I just got my first gaming PC a week ago and I got a 2 TB HDD rather than a 1 TB SSD. I was wondering why everything is taking so damn long to load….. it has legit been a struggle. Booting up the PC takes about 3-5 minutes… starting a game takes 3-5 minutes… downloading and transfers… it’s unbelievable how far tech has come in this sense

Might need both of them. HDD for storing older projects and SSD for on the go/recent & current projects/drums/ audio files if you’re constantly changing computers.
