2:37 SSD vs HDD: numbers don't lie

Since 2009, I started using a Macbook as my main work computer. It came with a traditional hard-disk and I used it that way during 4 years. Then I changed its HDD for an SSD… what a difference! In 2013 those 500GB were expensive - but the productivity gain was brutal. It was my working tool, so it was worth the price.

Besides the Mac, we always had some PC around at home. We use it sporadically… so, we never considered buying an SSD for it - until now.

The SSD that appears in this video is an OLDER model, the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD:

SO I recommend you to check out the newer EVO 860 Lineup: https://geni.us/yX2NQL0

On both occasions I bough SSDs from Samsung after reading lots of reviews and some performance/endurance/energy-efficiency tests. There are other SSD brands who demand even more energy than an mechanical hdd, which on a laptop is a deal breaker to me. Right now Samsung offers a very good relation between price, capacity, performance, endurance and consumption (battery time).

Technology is always evolving, so if you find different brands/models worth mentioning, let us all know in the comments!
