What hard disk you should buy this year?

   Well, I will just let you know some thing about hard disk history first, even in 1984 the original Macintosh had no hard disk at all, program and data both used to be stored in floppy disks and later hard disks came as additional feature, they were very noisy and slow to transfer data, and failing rate was too high, Take a look at a  Maxtor 10 gb fat noisy hard disk from 1990

So, let’s back to the original topic , which hard disk you should buy this year? Of course you want a ssd right ? ( see my ssd or hdd article to be sure ) and are you thinking to buy a SATA interfaced ssd? Why??????   SATA has maximum speed of 16 Gb/s , actual speed 1969 Mb/s . why to put a semiconductor based ssd on slower SATA port? Do you know USB 3.1 is even faster than SATA? \

   Then what should you do?

Go for a pci-E based or pci enhaced based ssd like    go to this amazon link

Well, that will be a little costly but just think about it …. You were using a train engine to pull a bicycle. ssd is fast but not fully fast in SATA,

So, you probably should buy a pci-E based ssd for your primary hard disk to enjoy full performance. Apple use this pci-E based hard disk in all of their Mac books.

Happy and fast data transferring and Happy Durga Puja to all.
