Hi.

I want a drive that makes minimal writing errors (writing from audio cd's and downloads). Should I get SSD or HDD in this case? Assuming that drive isn't being moved while writing, which would affect a writing HDD. Which brand should I choose? Also, does HDD speed affect error possibility?

I tried to google answers or info, but didn't find any. Is there no difference in general?

Thanks.

SSD is quite slow on write commands but fast on read commands. get yourself a decent HDD :O)

All went well until I plugged the drive in.

Traditional Solid State Disk (SSD) manufactured using DRAM or an in-memory filesystem (setting aside the computer memory as a virtual hard disk) are the quickest. SSD will absolutely screem with almost zero latency on random (and serial) access, but it comes with an absolute penalty: $$$$Price$$$$.

New Solid State Disk (Flash) manufactured using NAND-Flash cell technology are slower on writes, suffer write errors.

Grab yourself a Linux box, build tmpfs in memory, and watch audio conversion scream. You can copy from hard disk into tmpfs and out again at system boot/reboot or regularly.
