Computer components will get a bit more expensive except motherboards for some reason.

The SSD price hike prediction is really fucking infuriating. Doesn't seem like we're aiming to replace HDDs ever at this pace.

Density keeps going up on magnetic platters while prices keep dropping on a $:TB comparison. I see no reason to wish for HDD to ever go away so long as they are cheaper and better for mass storage.

sadly, they're s l o w . i want to upgrade to M.2s, but HDDs make SSDs look insanely expensive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Upgrade now while it's affordable.

Yeah, but that depends on the use cases. I have a home video and picture library on my NAS. I’d much rather have more storage on an HDD rather than SSD. For the same price, and with RAID 5, I get to store more. I don’t need the SSD speeds to load old pictures and videos.

Now for a boot OS drive, where ky games are, pr my CM images? SSD all the way.

I just got a new work PC and they finally have PC's with a SSD . My old PC was so infuriating to use . Would have to turn it on 30 minutes before my shift to be able to login on time .
