When asked what hard drive should be purchased, most users would answer: The bigger the better. But is this the right choice? In most cases it is, but we don't need that much space nowadays, so some of us prefer faster drives, some of silent ones and so on. Luckily there is variety of models to choose from. The time of SSDs is coming for certain, but at the same time hard drives are getting bigger and cheaper. In very near future we can predict transitional period where SSD will be used as system drive while HDD will be used as data storage. Since SSD prices are not showing significant drop tendency, we will be using HDDs for some time in the future. So, we decided to make, maybe for the last time, big hard drive roundup.
