#SSDs Philippines

We got USB drives, Hard Drives, SSDs, and even cloud storage. But for the most part, if you wanna keep a large number of files for local storage then you’d most likely look into either Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) or Solid State Drives (SSDs). In general, most SATA HDDs will have read and write speeds of around 100 to 150 MB/s while SSDs can manage much more. Then there's also the difference between SATA SSDs and PCIe NVMe SSDs, apart from being smaller and needing a different slot, PCIe NVMe SSDs are also notably faster than SATA SSDs.

PCIe NVMe SSDs can manage faster speeds with PCIe Gen 3 going up to 2,000 to 3,000 MB/s and PCIe Gen 4 now reaching 5,000 to 7,000 MB/s depending on the specific drive. Below is a list of a few SSDs and HDDs available in the Philippines along with our conclusion on which you should get. [table id=1940 /] [table id=1941 /] [table id=1942 /] On average HDDs have an average price of about PHP 2/GB of storage, while SATA SSDs average roughly PHP 4.7/GB of storage, and PCIe NVMe SSDs average about PHP 5.4/GB of storage.
