It determines the speed at which the computer can access the data stored on the drive. I’m listing the storage drive first as I believe it to be the most important part that will save you time. This, in effect, causes the SSD to be able to access data extremely fast, whereas the HDD has to wait for the rotating disks to warm up before you can access the files. In a nutshell, the difference between a Hard Disk Drive and a Solid State Drive is that one has rotating disks inside it and the other is solid, with no moving parts.
In recent years, however, the Solid State Drive (SSD) has become ever more popular. The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) has been around for so long that all drives are generally referred to as Hard Drives. These high-end, very expensive machines, will last years before needing an upgrade. The general exception, however, would be the Microsoft Surface and the iMac, which both have impressive specs and offer excellent displays. It’s also impractical for photographers who need multiple storage drives. We recommend staying away from All-in-One PCs (where the hardware is built into the screen) as they seriously lack upgradeability. What most professional photographers do, is buy a laptop for on-the-road work, and then have a beast of a system at home or office, for editing that demands a lot of disk space and processing power. If you consider buying a laptop only, then also consider buying an additional large screen for photo editing. Editing on a big monitor is much more pleasant than struggling with a smaller laptop screen. Laptops, despite their limitations in terms of hardware and upgradeability, are better for people who are constantly on the move.Īnother aspect you should take into consideration is screen size.
The first question you should ask yourself is do you travel around a lot, or do you mostly work from home? Desktop PC’s have great upgrade potential but are a hassle to move around. Another uncertainty is whether you should buy a Desktop Computer or a Laptop?
