[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 768577"] Between the two HDDs last longer, but there's no accurate time as it depends mostly on luck and/or usage. Both HDDs and SSDs can last 1y, the same way they can last 15y. Also [USER=62754]@n0k0m3[/USER] statement is wrong and reversed, SSDs lose lifespan with constant writes, is one of the reasons you don't defrag SSDs. And consumer HDDs rarely use Helium and are sold premium, not to mention they last longer than normal HDDs. For reliability I would go with an HDD any day, HDDs are actually majorly used to store data, while the SSDs are used to run the System (that's how you should build a system you want to last). Easy, you start getting corrupt files and the disk fails to read/write data (with no way to recover the data when it dies, before that if you have a proper SSD it will engage read-only mode to backup the data). With an HDD you can always recover the data, unless you damage the platter. PS: Almost forgot to mention, that power surges can damage the data and the SSD itself, while a HDD will be generally safe.
