Solid State Drive for laptops vs 5400 RPM SATA drive. Which is faster?
I've been using laptops for years and never needed a faster SATA on a laptop. But I was recently talking to people who have a SSD (solid state drive) and they say it's faster. How much faster? If I'm doing video editing much difference in speed will there be? Finally, the SSD fits in the same slot as a 2.5 "SATA drive or can I contact the manufacturer? Links to the two species at NewEgg.com will follow in a Please wait ... This is just one of several SSD drives I'm considering. Just need about 30GB for Windows 7 + workspace. Everything could be an external drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139134&cm_re=ssd_notebook_drive-_-20-139-134-_-Product I have no Momentus, but the specs are close enough to the station I have in the existing laptop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148489&cm_re=sata_drive-_-22-148 Product-489-_-I do not see any 7200 RPM SATA notebook drives. Am I missing something?
The solid state drive is faster. They are still sold in 2.5 "size. However, there no moving parts in the solid state, resulting in less hard drive crashes. Because the straight electricity, the SSD read and write information faster than the SATA drive.
