I didn't see an HDD thread so I thought I'd ask here: how is performance on the various hybrid HDDs compared to an SSD? I need room for my Steam library and was hoping I could use something less expensive than a Samsung EVO SSD.

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.

I remember when 4TB required an entire stack in the data center.

Would most laptop users notice a performance difference between that X400 and an EVO (normal, not PRO)? The price difference is pretty substantial.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:The controller is unquestionably better. Endurance is up in the air, but the warrantied TBW of the x400 is actually over twice that of the equivalent Extreme Pro SKU (1TB 320 TBW vs 960GB 144) and if you're just using it as a games drive you won't hit anywhere near a tenth of it. Thanks. I'm considering getting an MSI GS43VR (their new 14" laptop with an nVidia 1060), and swapping the default 128GB M.2 with a larger SSD.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I'm sure you know this already - but keep in mind that that M.2 slot is PCIe-linked, so you'll want to go with at least the 600p if you want 1TB. You made me curious enough to look up the laptop's information, since my father's been angling for a new game-capable laptop, and a 1060M would more than suit him for something like the next five years. I didn't know that. What is 600p? Sorry if the question is dumb.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Again, it does bear mentioning that the 600p has a warranty of 5y or 72 TB Written (TBW) over the entire product line (120GB-1TB). To put that into perspective, the 850 EVOs are warrantied for 75 TBW for the 120 & 250GB models, 150 TBW for the 500GB & 1TB models, and 300TBW for the 2 & 4TB models, with 5y on all SKUs. I have a 4-year old Crucial 480GB drive that I have no complaint about, so something like this would be great. Then again, I've never experienced the magic of an EVO booting Windows instantly. Like some caveman from the early 00's, I still have to wait a few seconds for the login prompt.
