It's time for a new workstation but IT will not budge on installing an SSD in place of the 900GB 10K enterprise HDD. My current system has two old SSDs (120GB Corsair ForceGT, 128GB Corsair Nova) from 2010.
I think I can keep my current SSDs (swap into new system). My question is how much of a performance hit will I take if I go to the HDD? I don't use anywhere near 900GB so it will be heavily short-stroked, and keep in mind it is brand new (I think it is the Seagate 10K.8 but I can't be sure) vs the 5-year old early-generation SSDs.
Also, do you think the current SSDs are reliable at 5 years old? They get 86% and 92% health in CrystalDiskInfo but I'm still worried about reliability.
Thanks!
