SSD v Spinning hard drive

[ticklemeballs]

Which tends to be more stable and error-free?

Which is more susceptible to hard disk failure?

And which will last longer without giving problems?

Of course these questions negate the price-point factor and brand reliability, but let's ignore these for a while.

What will all these answer ? That you can keep one copy of data on one of the choice and feel safe ?

Easy answer to all is: SSD.

There will only be a very special case exception:
If you have an aircon server room with a rack bolted to the floor and vibration prevention material installed, then there is a small chance that a mechanical (spinning) hard disk may outlast a SSD dependent on the type of data you write.

Again, this is super rare and not applicable to normal day to day usage of consumers.

Almost all the time, SSD will tick all your checkboxes.

I heard though that SSD are useless for recovery should there be a corrupt sector and information is "gone". HDD's however have partial/near full recovery of data.
