I have been getting some errors in Windows 8.1 preinstalled on my laptop (HP 15 Notebook - t063tu model) which is just about 1.5 yrs old. Seems the internal hard drive is going to fail soon, and I am advised by my IT Admin that I should buy a new hard drive asap to replace the defective one.
While checking on some forums and some people have suggested that SSDs boost system performance a lot more compared to regular hard drives. But SSDs cost almost thrice as much - for the same capacity - 500Gb. So, would like to know if it's really worth investing in a new SSD instead of a standard laptop hard drive, and what would be the life of an SSD compared to a regular hard drive.
I understand that SSDs consume less power, and boot up the system much faster, but are they suitable for all-day computing, as I use my laptop for 10+ hours daily ?
Would be grateful if I get expert advise on this. Thanks.
