Windows10 SSD Productivity A Principled Technologies report: Hands-on testing. Real-world results. Stay unplugged Wait less and stay unplugged longer up to * using Microsoft Windows 10 laptops 2X longer with SSDs Choose solid-state drives over hard disk drives to improve your Windows 10 laptop experience ® ® When choosing your next Microsoft Windows 10 laptop, you Start up and shut have hundreds of options with a wide array of features, form down up to factors, and hardware specs. But there’s one thing that affects * everything from user experience to performance and even battery 3X faster life: storage. Choosing the right storage option can help narrow the field and make it more likely you’ll be happy with your new device. So, which type of storage—solid-state drive (SSD) or hard disk drive (HDD)—has the most potential to improve your day-to- day experience? And how does storage impact battery life? Access the web † Our hands-on testing and review of 38 Windows 10 laptops reveals up to a consistent story: Choosing a Windows 10 laptop with SSD storage * over HDD storage reduces the time it takes your laptop to boot up, 48% faster shut down, launch programs, and get on the web. Plus, the battery life on laptops equipped with SSDs was longer than the battery life on most of the laptops with HDD storage. Read on to see how choosing a Windows 10 laptop with SSD storage can make the difference between a great experience Jump to the next and a mediocre one. task up to 52% faster* * Based on HDD and SSD averages † Link to a list of laptops we tested Wait less and stay unplugged longer using Microsoft Windows 10 laptops with SSDs January 2019 (Revised) Get more even when you spend less Take full advantage of the internet without breaking the bank Many people don’t need to edit videos or do comprehensive financial analyses that require a terabyte (TB) of storage—they just need an entry-level Windows 10 laptop they can use to keep track of their schedules, create budgets, and access online resources. Our tests show that if price-conscious users choose an entry-level laptop with 64 GB of Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) SSD storage, they get a laptop that accesses the web and online content faster than they could on a system powered by an HDD with 1 TB of storage.† Plus, most SSD laptops can also stay unplugged for at least a full 9-hour day according to our video playback results. Stay unplugged up to 2X longer Video battery life* (hours) Min: 9:35 Max: 17:17 Min: 4:41 Max: 10:30 HDD SSD average: average: 610 1219 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 13:00 14:00 15:00 16:00 17:00 18:00 Start up and shut down up to 37% faster Fast startup (seconds)** 29.3 51.8 45.3 142.5 SSD HDD average: average: 39.4039.4 63.4 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 Access the web up to 21% faster Jump to the next task up to 48% faster Launch internet browsers (seconds)** Launch Microsoft Office programs (seconds)** 4.6 18.3 3.4 11.3 4.0 43.5 3.8 32.3 SSD HDD HDD average: average: SSD HDD average: average: 6.406.4 8.2 4.706.0 11.76.90 0 10 20 30 0 10 20 30 *Longer unplugged times are better **Shorter wait times are better † Link to entry-level laptop results Wait less and stay unplugged longer using Microsoft Windows 10 laptops with SSDs January 2019 | 2 (Revised) A hard lesson you can learn from The amount of storage you get isn’t as important as the type of storage you get Imagine you’re walking into a retail store to purchase a new computer and you see a mainstream Windows 10 laptop with a 1TB HDD that’s on sale. If staying unplugged is important to you, don’t be tempted by that high- capacity laptop—our test results show you may need to plug in a mainstream laptop with HDD storage after as few as four hours, whereas every mainstream laptop with SSD storage we tested ran unplugged a full eight-hour workday or longer.† HDD-powered laptop users may also have to wait up to 83 seconds every time they power up their machines. Stay unplugged up to 50% longer Video battery life (hours)* Min: 8:54 Max: 12:46 Min: 4:07 Max: 12:13 HDD SSD average: average: 704 1039 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 13:00 Start up and shut down up to 3X faster Fast startup (seconds)** 9.4 19.9 34.1 83.0 SSD HDD average: average: 16.1 47.4 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Access the web up to 48% faster Jump to the next task up to 52% faster Launch internet browsers (seconds)** Launch Microsoft Office programs (seconds)** 3.0 8.1 2.1 4.8 3.6 17.7 3.2 18.7 SSD HDD SSD HDD average: average: average: average: 4.9 9.5 3.2 6.8 0 10 20 0 10 20 *Longer unplugged times are better **Shorter wait times are better † Link to mainstream laptop results Wait less and stay unplugged longer using Microsoft Windows 10 laptops with SSDs January 2019 | 3 (Revised) Stop spinning your wheels Do what you want, where you want, for as long as you want Do you need a Windows 10 laptop that excels at everything from mobile office work to effective client presentations? Our tests show that, if a performance-conscious user buys a premium Windows 10 laptop with a 256GB SSD, they could attack their to-do list, keep track of their finances, and write new project ideas in less time than they could on a system powered with a 1TB HDD.† And the premium laptops with SSDs we tested come with a minimum of almost eight hours of battery life. Less time waiting or looking for a power plug means you have more time to get important stuff done. Stay unplugged up to 46% longer Video battery life (hours)* Min: 7:49 Max: 14:42 Min: 6:02 Min: 9:41 HDD SSD average: average: 719 1044 6:00 7:00 8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 13:00 14:00 15:00 Start up and shut down up to 2.8X faster Fast startup (seconds)** 9.4 21.5 34.7 43.1 SSD HDD average: average: 14.1 40.5 0 10 20 30 40 50 Access the web up to 34% faster Jump to the next task up to 28% faster Launch internet browsers (seconds)** Launch Microsoft Office programs (seconds)** 2.8 6.0 2.0 3.9 2.5 11.4 2.8 5.3 SSD HDD SSD HDD average: average: average: average: 4.0 6.1 2.7 3.8 0 10 0 10 *Longer unplugged times are better **Shorter wait times are better † Link to premium laptop results Wait less and stay unplugged longer using Microsoft Windows 10 laptops with SSDs January 2019 | 4 (Revised) Conclusion If our test results don’t convince you that choosing a laptop that provides SSD storage over a HDD is a good idea, just think about how inconvenient it is to find a place to plug in your laptop while you’re out and about. Even more convincing: do an experiment. Count the number of times you jump on your laptop daily, whether it’s to research something or work on a project, and multiply that number by 1,095 (the number of days in three years). Now consider how many seconds you could be losing every time you start up and shut down, access the web, or jump to the next task. Those seconds turn into minutes and hours very quickly. Think about what you can accomplish in that time.
