SSD vs. HDD: The Counseling Sessions: 1 of 5 Performance

[zF4STz]

Better then the MAC vs PC commercials.

[bddblade]

Lmao.

[26psyside]

Awesome :D

[Pulverpojken]

Rly feels like they have gotten some inspiration from the MAC VS PC videos. :P

[sdhdgasd]

LOL!

"die" or degrade? "die" implies not fixable. If a complete format fixes the ssd, then it's not really dead, is it? What is the price to pay for transferring the contents of the ssd to temp storage while the primary is reformatted? Performance over maintenance, how often does one have to reformat?

[eddiekoski]

the individual memory cells die not the whole ssd

[eddiekoski]

And solid state disk memory cells die after 10000 writes did you care to mention that to all the people that have them that are slowly losing all there space

[akipta]

And did you care to mention your source for this factoid?

[AstarteVX]

horrible.

my HDD just died last night after just over 2 years of it being new. and it's a friggin Western Digital, wouldn't even detect in the BIOS, tried other cables other computers.

It was an IDE but my grandmother has had her hard drive for over 8 years and it's never had 1 problem.

it also had all my coursework for school on it and ALL my files.

[AstarteVX]

and that's why you always backup your important info, also, 2 years isn't "new"

I've read in many places that the SSDs performance will degrade over time the more you right to the disk and erase etc.

In other words, it will get slower the more it is used, sort of like an HDD except more significant.

SSD is a great idea as long as they get the flaws and kinks out of it. They will also have to improve how much memory it holds as well.

[toocoolforu]

learn about NAND memory, it will be clearer for you why it degrades over time. but dont worry too much about it.

OCZ do a 1TB PCIe 1x SSD

very expensive though.

I'm from England, but the 250GB version of the PCIe 1x is over $1500 on amazon

[emax27]

SSD is a schitzo!!!... just wait for it to wear down!

[fibertech9]

Well the seek time is important to me. The MLC type of SSD are bad but the SLC last longer. Write times can be slower but read times are fast. Study them before you get one. I am about to try out the 16gb transcend slc ssd for my OS and a few programs only.

[emax27]

Well, as long as you avoid those with JMicron controller you shoudn't have any issues.

If I take a look, it seems to me that the older guy is like a SSD with a JMicron controller than a HDD.

[ajaidev]

This is incorrect advertisement HDD's are presently better than low - med end SSD's as for the forgetting part lets just say the lifetime write cycles of HDD's far surpass the lifetime write cycles of a SSD.

Also SSD's are not very "FAT" this is a bad thing would yo rather have a 8Gb-16Gb SSD than a 120Gb-160Gb HDD at the same cost point.

[joedread]

HAHAHA LMAO

[gulllars]

ROFL. Genious

[vesnaCZ]

cool
