At this price, I might be going SSD

I've had one in my work Dell tablet for several months.  I really like it-- makes my laptop very quiet and cool running.  Appears "faster" but I've not done any benchmarking.

I'd like to get one for my cabinet but the price does need to come down.

The worst part is.. When a certain number of writes / re-writes has occurred,
some of the banks will fail.   This will create a problem... because now your data has
to be fragmented all over the place.   That fragmentation, means more time trying to
find the relevant data position to read from.  Performance will then drop like stone.

 There is also the fact that many of these use a system which tries to write the data to
various different sections to equally distribute the amount of writes and re-writes equally.
This too will slow down the performance... AND, when sectors do fail,  that performance
trying to calculate things gets even worse.

 It would be much better and faster as an OS only drive, to use DDR type ram,
and a battery back up system.  Data is still best stored on HD, with a backup HD.

 A compromise between no batter backup, could be an OS that loads from the HD,
then immediately transfers to Ram.. so that the entire environment would be ran in
ram only.

$115 + 10 for 2.5" to 3.5" adaptor.

40 gigabytes.

Go big or go home, imo.

Yeah, someone posted that here a month or few ago. Neat, but....

I just rebuilt my sytem this weekend, with a 80 solid state & a 2nd drive 750gb, the os only is on the 80 gig & it is very fast.  Much better than my raptor which i am going to ebay

ChadTower:

That's backwards if the SSD drive is finite write... the OS will kill that thing dead.  Sure, it's faster, but you only have so many writes, so your OS paging is going to trash it.
