[QUOTE="Randall_Adams, post: 9737640, member: 553059"] HDDs are good for archival and long term storage type things. They're cheaper, so if something doesn't need to go fast, then they're ideal. You can throw backups of files you have on one and let it sit somewhere. If you need more space and it isn't ideal to use an SSD, then you can also chuck one in your computer for that extra stuff. If you can manager to have [I]everything [/I]on you computer on an SSD, then you should. If that's not feasible, or is impractical, then put the things you use least on a HDD. Flip the idea that your OS should be on an SSD and everything else should be on a HDD, that's just silly. Put everything you can on an SSD because you time is precious. Why not let my games or other programs load faster? You should keep a backup of everything you don't want to lose, regardless of whether or not it's on a SSD. (Not that most people actually do that... but we should.) Also, fuck cloud storage. You'd be an idiot to pay monthly for something you could buy one time and save money on in the rather-near long term. So using anything beyond what's offered for free is a bad move. The only exception is if you need to store some hyper important stuff off site. A fire, flood, earthquake or tornado at your house could destroy your backups along with the primary copies of files. So if you need to have a backup and need reliable internet access to it then yeah, go for cloud storage stuff, but if not, you can always store a backup of your most important files at a relative's or friend's house.
