HDD vs SSD - is upgrading your hard drive ACTUALLY worth it?

If your desktop or laptop is slow, it very well could be because you still have a mechanical drive in your computer versus the more modern SATA SSD all-digital drive.

In this video, I show you real-world examples of identical mechanical drives, SSD drives and m.2 NVMe drives, with boot speed tests and app-opening tests so you can see for yourself exactly what kind of difference you can expect from upgrading from a mechanical drive.
