I'll give you exactly ten seconds to post legitimate valid reasons why you haven't ditched old, withering mechanical hard drives for solid state drives

broke

just got an SSD a week ago

it's pretty cool

>I can't afford an ssd for more than my os now but I'm sure they'll go down in price the next time I build a pc
>7 years later
>still expensive as shit

>1TB SSD
>$300

In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter?
Were all just gonna die in the end anyway and be forgotten within a decade.

Money.

all the more reason to spend less of your precious limited time on this earth waiting for things to load

fucking stop it
i just got over my existential depression a few months back and i've had a shitty day and you aren't helping

I'm a data hoarder
I don't want to pay a shitload of money for SSDs so my precious data goes poof after being left unpowered for a few months

Because I don't give a fuck enough.

This site has nothing to offer anybody. There is no quality content here you cannot get more quickly and efficiently elsewhere. This is an addiction which reduces your productivity, attention span, and free time. You are becoming more bitter, narrow minded, haughty, and old. Leave now and block this site. There is nothing here but slow, lonely suicide.

People do not have arguments here. Posters do not engage one another on key points, they nitpick with greentext and mock each other. Nobody is interested in the truth; people are battling for fleeting moments of superiority. Active commenters are loud jackasses who tumble into one internet fight after another, anxiously keeping ten tabs open to ensure they keep the last word in all of them. An insightful post is one in ten thousand, and no matter how hard you filter this place you are still searching for diamonds in a garbage dump.

It does that?

Nihilism is cancer

I'm considering buying one atm. Booted up computer the other day and got a missing os error. Several hours of fuckery later it and it was no bueno. So now I'm debating on whether I just grab my two old hdds and put their information on some externals and reinstall the os win 7 home premium or just buy a ssd and install os on it and use the other drives as storage.

Shut the fuck up you pathetic faggot. Take your nihilism to its conclusion and kill yourself already.

ssds are a meme, the speed is negligible

Yet its the closest thing to social interaction I get.

Absurdism is bretty good

I know this is pasta but I come here to share games.

yeah, if you unplug it and leave it out in the sun for a year

Because NewEgg switched my order up with another motherboard

ssds have a tendency to corrupt data if theyre not turned on in a while
just like flash drives

they're cheap as fuck dude wtf??

it would prove the "good computers are expensive" memelords right if everyone owned storage devices that cost more than the rest of the machine combined

cost

expensive for the same storage capacity. True patricians use both. ssd for games and os and hdd for music videos and work related stuff.

Nah. That would require effort.

They're expensive.

I'll just wait like five more years until they become cheap and put a 3TB SSD in my next PC

i use one tho

Doesn't the fact that this is copypasta make it kind of self-defeating?

All forms of storage slowly corrupt data over time. Just put what you really care about in a good sized zfs2 array and scrub it weekly.

Because
>they still work fine
>they have over 3TB of data on them
>if I bought SSDs to transfer it all to, the cost would exceed $1000
>electronics are not disposables

see

It requires a lot more effort to sustain your loathesome existance. The truth is you're a fucking cowardly little runt and nihilism is an easy out for you to absolve yourself of any responsibility.

remidner ssds are a meme just like 60 fps. fucking kill yourself if you bought into the marketing

Because I can have more memory for cheaper?

I still use a SSD for the OS and some other programs that I want to load FAST!

Will that go for switch games as well?

I have a SSD for my main drive and a HDD for storing files (mostly anime). And 've already run out of space on my 500 GB SSD so I need to buy yet another HDD.

Storage/$$ is too low for SSD.
What's the point of using it for multimedia files like movies/music that I don't access as often and just stockpile?
(not to mention that speed doesn't matter for multimedia)
I have SSD for Windows and programs/games I use often, but I'd never buy one just for mass media storage.

Because I'm not some ADD shit that gets upset at load times.

Why do so many people not understand what nihilism is?

Something like that, yeah.

I have an ssd and a hdd
They are not all that faster.

Show me a 7TB SSD that I can get for 70€, without rewrite limits.

It would be expensive as fuck to store my 3TB of porn on SSD's

That's a cute image user, do you have any more like it?

HDDs are PROVEN to retain porn videos for a much longer time than SSDs. The average SSD can only hold a charge of porn related memory for a maximum of 120 cycles. This is insufficient.

Not to mention games these days require hundreds of GIGABYTES of space for uncompressed Portuguese audio.

>My arbitrary definition is the only correct one

The faggot is clearly nihilistic, shut the fuck up.

Bro, they were 6 or 7 times as expensive in 2010.

Storage.

not really, just a folder full of screencaps and the odd gif.

but think about how FAST you could watch it

my 320gb seagate hdd from 2007 still holds the same exact data when i left it unused 8 years ago
3 of my friends have to reformat their ssds after leaving them off for 5 months.

Great, so shut the fuck up about it and stop spreading your disgusting, pathetic mindset. Nobody wants to hear you. Grow up and fucking deal with yourself you child.

Simply a matter of price and I'm a jew when it comes to handling money.

SSD's dont make watching video faster

Not really, most new games will be optimised for SSDs
See PUBG or GTA V

nah.

>my 320gb seagate hdd from 2007 still holds the same exact data

How would you even know? I doubt you performed any real tests on it.

>buying a 1TB SSD
fucking epic, my dude.

so this is the power of pc gaming
whoa...

lol i don't even see loading screens anymore, but keep telling yourself these grapes are sour

HDDs have much longer lifespans.

HDDs for longterm, SSDs for vidya/OS.

I have a mechanical hard drive for back ups and my SSD for everything else.

I turned it on last month to find this cracked version of HL2 that i got off mininova and its still there

>See PUBG

lol

It's the power of asian jews keeping their tech price fixing monopoly going.

Did you just realize this? Do you enjoy being a wet fucking blanket during conversation? Of course nothing matters, but if you're just going to drag others down and give up then go curl up somewhere and die.

That's not a real test, user. Bit-rot is very subtle.

Good on you user. I'm bad with money.

I need those old withering mechanical hard drives to store all my porn though. They sometimes tick, make a shitload of noises and slow my entire system to a crawl when first trying to access them but they still work so I see no reason to replace any yet.

nothing matters at all, nothing any of us ever do or are even capable of doing will achieve any meaningful effect on a macro level
our lives and even our existence as a species is pointless and nothing would change if humanity never existed to begin with
such is life

Why the fuck would your installed software need to exceed 240gb?
I've only used 90gb of mine and have a 1TB HDD for all my shit.
You don't need a 1TB SSD unless you're a memester who browses /r/MasterRace

I have this broken pixel in my screen that always displays a blue light but i am thinking that it is a good thing since if i see it clearly then i am sitting to close to the screen and creating a forward neck problem.

So why are you posting?

oh right, because you think it matters.

my 1tb ssd was $250. load your operating system/important files onto that. everything else goes on a hdd.

>its more expensive than the rest of the system
fucking retard

Where were you when you realized the human mind cannot will itself dead?

>mfw all the fags saying ssd was a meme
>mfw I have been reaping the benefits for ages

I got a 1TB SSD for 150 on cyber monday, so there really isnt much excuse anymore. Come this cyber monday, all you faggots better have SSDs

>ssds are a meme, the speed is negligible

Kill yourself my dude.

Too poor

Enjoy your data corruption

it doesn't matter though
that's why nihilism is the most uplifting, freeing philosophy out there
i can make a fool of myself and spout ill-researched beliefs or i could choose to ignore the conversation and have no one know i was ever even there
but in the end there's no difference

they are expensive as shit

Nice, I have to wait on Jewish Holidays to get a cheap SSD.

Got a 250gb SSD for my favourite games but I have 3tb of HDD for all the other games/music/videos

In 100 years, sure

It's almost like you didn't read the OP or something.

Thankfully I leave my computer on 24/7.

Because most games these days are beginning to exceed 30gb each and constantly uninstalling and then reinstalling when you want to play again is not something you do with SSDs.

You fool!

Oh shit does it release mustard gas or something?
I prefer stone ground, but I'll give gaseous a try.

You mean ditched entirely, or just ditched as boot drives?

Because there's plenty of reasons to use mechanical hard drives as non-boot drives.

Because I live in the south corner of Mexico and they are prohibitive expensive here.

same

Just join the cartel and get your monies that way.

I have one but they still cost too much to replace 4tb of HDD

sauce for da image?

i use both
