I know this is yet again another pro/evo question. But I believe the pro to be far superior to the evo. It uses better nand and gives the same performance as the evo by pure nand power and not accelerants and such.
I have an asus g750 laptop, which has two bays. I took out the original 1tb hhd after purchasing, and am running my Samsung 840 evo 1tb as the only drive. Looking to get as much battery as I can, but also need a lot of space. I don't use my laptop for gaming, more than a few hours a week. I use it for video editing, photo editing, solidworks, autocad, and the such. But also want my battery to be as good as it can be.
So questions are,
1. in terms of battery which would be better?
A second ssd or a hhd? This will be pure data storage, so not sure if an hhd without reading/writing actually spins at all or uses any power. While I know ssd use power reguardless, but very little.
2. If the ssd is better, which I think it is, which would be better as my os drive. For the same price, I can get 128gb pro or 256gb evo, $120. I know the evo is almost as good as the pro, but i have a 1tb ssd for data storage then so the 128gb will be more than enough. I personally favor the pro, since it gives better performance all around including 4k, vs the evo gives great sequential. And the pro uses 2bit better nand and the evo 3 bit. So longevity i give to the pro, and since this is going to be the os, id rather have the better drive.
3. Or should i just keep the 1tb Samsung for now and get a 2gb wd passport external. Not favoring this one in the least, as its more to carry and will give slower performance. Plus im waiting on the 4gb external, don't remember much about it but it has 4 platters and its internally setup as raid, so it gives great performance. I'm not sure if its usb 3.0 or if its thunder, im hoping thunder but that will def add to the price.
Personal thoughts, I'm really leaning or favoring not using my Samsung 1tb evo as my boot drive, just less wear and tear, plus for data storage being on the 1tb ssd will be able to access a lot faster than if i were to get hhd 1tb.
So, i guess, thoughts on any of the questions. But biggest one, is 128 Samsung pro or 256 Samsung evo?
