Way I see it there are 3 options for upgrading a laptop hard drive, but I'm not sure which is the best:
1. HDD: 7,200 RPM > 5,400 RPM(what most laptops come with)
2. SSD: Fastest most reliable storage, but is far more expensive and doens't last long when its by its self*
3. SSHD: 5,400 RPM but has SSD memory in it so idk whether its faster than a 7,200 RPM HDD or not.**
* I've heard mixed opinions on the longevity of SSDs, can I expect it to last 5 years if its the main form of storage?
** Which is faster 5,400 RPM SSHD or 7,200 RPM HDD?
