SSD vs HDD

[manshiny]

Okay, so this is a little different, but I have an assignment to do and I need 3 sources of info. So here I am, with source #1- Forums

Basically, I'm doing a persuasive argument where I'm arguing that SSD's are better than HDD's.

I have some basic info on them, but I need three detailed supporting points and one opposing point.

So far, this is what I have in terms of points

Supporting
#1: Speed
#2: Noise
#3: Heat/reliability

Opposing: Cost

Whats some articles/personal experience/info you guys could provide to help me argument my point

reliability is still questionable if you ask me.

I have hard drives that are 5-6 years old running 24/7.

SSD can have an issue with the amount of reads and rewrites, and cleaning garbage data

Personally, I still use HDD drives for backup and data storage as the cost of SSDs are still too expensive for the amount of storage space you have available for the price. So, if you need a con other than just cost I would say the storage limitation of SSDs. Right now I can't imagine using an SSD as a backup drive. I do things with the HDDs that I would not do with an SSD such as frequently moving, deleting, and copying files.
