The choice between SSD and HDD for storage is another important decision when building a SolidWorks workstation. While traditional hard drives (HDDs) offer large storage capacities at relatively low prices, they are much slower compared to solid-state drives (SSDs). For a SolidWorks workstation, an SSD is a must-have for the operating system, SolidWorks software, and frequently used project files. SSDs provide faster boot times, quicker file loading, and improved overall system responsiveness. For those with large storage needs, a hybrid approach can work well: use a smaller, high-speed SSD (500 GB to 1 TB) for your system and active project files, and a larger HDD (2 TB or more) for long-term storage of less frequently accessed data. This combination allows you to benefit from the speed of SSDs while still having ample storage for large projects.
