Re: [NF] SSD drives vs. 7200 rpm drives

For a laptop I wouldn't even consider a rotating disk. Had several classic HDDs that crashed, but never an SSD. I first switched to SSDs eight years ago. My current laptop has a 2 TB SSD (a single drive, wOOdy! <gd&r>) and duplicates an 80 GB VM image in less than a minute.

Classic disks are for servers or NAS storage. SSD drives are only 260 €/TB (320 for Samsung). It's probably the cheapest way to improve performance. Samsung has a 4 TB SSD for laptops, if you are worried about capacity (link https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-MZ-75E4T0B-EU-interne-schwarz/dp/B01ECEM7S2/ref=sr_1_10 for wOOdy).
