Speed is the main benefit. HDD's have been a bottleneck for years now, they are old tech.

A HDD can use 7 watts or more, an SSD less than 1 watt

Prices are dropping. It wasn't too long ago that a 500GB SSD was about 2000 pounds.

@ nobyboy - 3.08.13 - 03:49pm companies need to bring the prices down they take the pi*s Understand that manufacturing billions of transistors on silicon is a d*mn sight more expensive than knocking out magnetised platters for mechanical drives. It'll get cheaper while making more transistors gets cheaper. The best drives have about halved in price but doubled in speed in like 5 years. Not bad. |

@ newt182 - 3.08.13 - 04:18pm Prices are dropping. It wasn't too long ago that a 500GB SSD was about 2000 pounds. Market rate is now about 0.10 per gigabyte. |

@ alvar89 - 3.08.13 - 05:13pm samsung has good prices Yep, infact what got me to make this topic was when Kotaku posted a 'very, very good deal' on a samsung 840 pro series 256GB SSD which cost around 120 dollars (239 USD normal price) and they said its a very good deal. Well, i was wondering why the hell a 256GB hard disk is cheap at 120GB. |
