It’s easy to just say “SSD is the future”, which I have no doubt that
it will be in time. However, the cost of equivalent sized SSD drives,
which to their credit give much faster performance and lower power
consumption, can easily be ten times the price of similar sized platter
based counterparts. Until SSD prices drop to the point where it no
longer costs more than your laptop, platters will be where it’s at.
Platters also give you the storage you need for all those videos,
pictures and music files.
