SSD vs HDD G.Skill Titan 256GB - Part 2
High quality playback available! Also checkout part 1.
How this test was done:
-SSD was clone from the orginial 4200 RPM HDD using True Image 12
-Test performed on the HDD was replicated on the SDD
-Only one program was allow to run at a time
-SSD video was cut to compensate for the long HDD video, though initial loading time of each program was uncut.
Comments:
-I have a lot of startup programs and drivers, which may have affected bootup and shutdown time.
-I could not accurately test webpage loading because my internet can get unstable at times
-My benchmark differs from the claim benchmark, partly because we are using different machines
-Premiere Pro loaded slower than normal on the SSD video
-Fingerprint reader loaded slower than normal on the HDD video
-It is 2 years warranty not lifetime.
Pros
-Crazy fast
-No studdering
-Slightly lighter
-Aluminium casing
-No moving parts
-Completely silent
-Should outlast my lifetime
-Laptop now "runs" faster than my quadcore desktop!
Cons
-Heat is not significantly reduced (may actually feel hotter because aluminum disperse heat faster)
-Power consumption is not significantly reduced (may actually fluctuate battery life more because CPU has to work harder to keep up with the SSD)
-Writing speed is not as advertise base on my benchmark, but still faster than traditional HDD nonetheless
