Dell Optiplex 7010 HD vs SSD

Comparing the stock 300 GB mechanical hard drive to an Adata 500 GB SSD.

[@southwoodside]

MY SET UP: Dell Optiplex 7010 sff, Dell monitor, same model as yours. I have a 250g hdd, but just ordered a 250g Adata SDD. LOL. Looking forward to the faster speeds.

[@badcopnodonut607]

The SSD made a huge difference in my Optiplex 9020. I’ve got 2 SSD’s, one for the OS and the second for programs. I maxed out the ram to 16 GB and added a video card with digital out. My media is on a QNAP NAS, the combo of these will make a great PLEX server run from the Optiplex and a nice dvd rip machine as well. Nice video, love my Dell’s!

[@Dhjam11]

what video card did you get

[@badcopnodonut607]

I ended up using the card that came with the computer. Nothing special; AMD Radeon HD 7470. It fits into a PCI slot.

Did you have to work with bios for any of those upgrades?

[@bblitefootbilly3243]

@@LEGOManas i did bios upgrade n mine has no issues now with that sort of thing, very scarey lol

[@tributeborn6036]

SSD's are awesome for gaming too. 😁 Great vid 👍

[@manomant181]

They don't help at all. Only with loading times

[@migueljimenez4949]

@@manomant181 they do, all textures are in the storage and being sent to the RAM in order to be able to then be grabbed by the GPU. If the storage is not fast enough, you'll be encountered with stuttering.

Good demonstration of ssd speed🚀.

[@temp78980]

did you used a sata adapter from 3.5 to 2.5" ? I've the same PC, what is the best method to connect 2.5" Sata SSD ?

[@showahealthwellness6749]

Yes, I used a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter to mount the SSD inside the PC. Dell made a 2.5" adapter that came with some of these. Also, an SSD is usually very light and has no vibration so I've used double sided tape to mount them if I don't have an adapter.

Is a 2TB Dell optiplex i7 core good enough to record music and make beats on?

[@RoyaleOne]

Yes

[@rabisah2321]

@@RoyaleOne How about for educational video recording and photoshop editing?

[@RoyaleOne]

@@rabisah2321 it depends on the video quality and how long each vid will be

[@rabisah2321]

Can wr record 4k video if i there will be possibility to add graphics card?

[@RoyaleOne]

@@rabisah2321 for 4k videos if its 20 minutes or longer you need more space on your hard drives, so more terabytes like 5tb, also you will need a nice gpu too of you want quick render time

[@abergethirty]

I have a 9010 sff with mechanical drive it does not take over a minute to boot.

[@AB-uz7dz]

The shutdown portion of time is not relevant as people usually do not wait till end of shutdown. The startup time is more relevant

My Windows 7 Pro It starts in winchester in 10-15 seconds

[@bryanhauschild4376]

I thought RAM/ memory was the speed, not the drive.

[@AaronCrabtree]

The drive makes a huge difference in the real world.

[@errikh3851]

No
