Hello, I am upgrading a family member's old laptop and I have a few 5400rpm SSHDs and 7200rpm HDDs lying around. Which would be better for ordinary day to day use? This person doesn't play games and doesn't transfer a lot of large files often. Just internet usage and occasional movies.
The options I have are:
1) used Seagate SSHD with 5400 rpm speed (ST500LM000)
and
2) new HGST HDD 7200 rpms (HTS725050A7) or new Toshiba HDD 7200 rpm (MQ01ACF050)
According to userbenchmark, the HDD is effectively faster as sequential read/write is weighted much more heavily. https://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Compa...00GB-vs-Toshiba-MQ01ACF050-500GB/m9154vsm7527
But youtube reviews/tests seem to prefer the SSHD. According to Seagate, their SSHD is better (no surprise?): https://www.seagate.com/tech-insigh...e-storage-is-not-about-rpm-anymore-master-ti/
