Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

When it comes to speed, which is better, Solid-state drives or regular hard drives?

If I'm not mistaken,

Solid-state = slow write, fast read

Hard Drive = fast write, slow read

?

Update:

It's for a laptop (MacBook Pro).

Does it make any difference?

    SSDs in most cases have faster read and write speeds. With no moving parts are more durable also.
