SSSD vs SSD - Quick question

[Luke7777]

Busy purchasing a laptop with either a Seagate Solid State Hybrid 500GB (SSHD) or a SAMSUNG 840 EVO 500GB (SSD). ETA on the SSD is 3-4 weeks , hybrid immediately. Is it worth the wait ?

Depends on how much room the lappy has, and how much space you need/will be using.

Room for 1 drive and you store a lot of stuff - SSHD

Room for 2 drives - SSD with an additional HDD

Room for 1 drive and you don't store a lot of stuff - SSD

 

[Luke7777]

Room is not the issue, and 500GB is 500GB

/update - assume single bay, so it will be one of the 2. Question still is .... is it worth waiting

 

[HDS]

Comprehension fail by me -.-. Yeah wait for the SSD, the performance increase over the SSHD will be worth it. How much are they asking for the ssd btw?

 

[Luke7777]

It's a staff purchase, but seems to be around 3200

It's worth the wait.
No doubt about it.

Yes it is although see if you can get the EVO 850 Pro. They go for roughly the same price but the 850 has a 10 year warranty.

The SSD is well worth the wait.

Thanks, confirming my gutfeel will wait then

Just so you know it's an SSHD not a SSSD.

It's not even a contest, the pure SSD is far better ...the SSHD only got 8GB of 'SSD' built in - that's nothing. But surely they not the same price?? - the SSD should be like 4 times more pricey!

Wait for the SSD.... because you will never have to wait again.

 

[Sodan]

Definitely worth the wait. No question about it.
