MSI Ge70 Apache Pro 012 Boot Time with Samsung EVO 860 msata SSD

♦ Webpage about SSDs Originally, this computer came with a 1 Terabyte Toshiba 2.5" sata hard drive, and these types of hard drives usually have a maximum write speed of 100 megabytes/second to 120 megabytes/second. A eSata SSD has a write/read speed of 490 megabyte/second to 550 megabytes/second. Thus, a eSata SSD is 4.58 to 4.9 times faster than a mechanical sata hard drive. The cost of a 500 gb esata SSD hdd is 4 times more than a comparable sata hdd. The cost is more in terms of price/gigabyte; however, it is 4.5 to 4.9 times faster than a comparable mechanical hard drive. Is it worth it? To me its worth it. A SSD is more durable, because it doesn&wear out with reading data. On the other hand, the mechanical hard drive does wear out with reading and writing. The SSD does wear out with writing and deleting data. Since the SSD contains only my operating system that shouldn&be an issue. The sata hdd can be used to store most of the data, and if the sata hdd fails I can use my computer. Most of the times if the hard drive with the operating system fails, your computer will not work. If my 2ndry hard drive fails, I can just replace that drive, and it doesn&cost very much. The benefits of having a SSD in a laptop is, it will last longer, because vibrations don&affect a SSD. Vibrations do affect mechanical hard drives, and they can fail earlier due to it. In a laptop, you do constantly move around with it. Another benefit you have is that the computer boots up much...
