Which drive is faster!?

[nomido_27]

Hey all

about to re-purpose some existing PC components into a new build and wondered if someone could tell me which would be the faster drive please…

A new 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD (that comes with the new PC) or my 6-year old (formatted) OCZ Vector 150 240GB SSD?

Thanks

The SSD is faster. I doubt there's any HDD that's anywhere near as fast as a relatively modern SSD.

What's the use of the PC?
If gaming that small SSD is problematically small.

Never underestimate bean counters and marketroids.

While all older SSDs are always faster than HDD, most QLC Flash drives of the last couple years would get curbstomped by most HDDs in whole drive sequential write.
Because of native uncached write speed being worser than in 10 years old HDD.
