whats the heat comparison from the HDD to SSD?

[kareem2357]

very nice, by the way your entrance is amazing:P

[CSpannerz]

Gonna have one of these fellows with 7 on it; a 2TB standard HDD for storage. I know theres a slower write speed but hey, Windows 7 will be loaded off it :P

[gippula]

I just bought the vertex 2 120Gb. I am a littlebit confused about the storage capacity. It's suppose to be 120gb drive but before i even installed Windows 7 64 bit it only showed capacity of 107Gb and it still does? How is this possible?

[hardtogetnewname]

@gippula without going into too many technical details - SSD'd reserve certain amount of space for their operational needs - effectively taking a chunk out of your total drive capacity.

Manufacturers put 120GB for example, but it's more for marketing, in all fairness they should advertise the EFFECTIVE capacity instead :)

So in order to get the "SSD performance", do I need to install the programs I want to use onto it? I want to run Vegas with this, so should I install Vegas onto it for the performance?

@jamn805 thats right! :)))) u only get faster loading times u can put also games so they load up faster and so on allt he thing ofc that use memory. so it like runs faster pretty much in memory usage things.

[Fusionz360]

[EmperorZhang66]

how will they be for audio based work?

the ssd better?

ssd as os drive 1tb drive as storage?

[jupstejuho]

@EmperorZhang66 - 120GB Vertex 2 + 1TB Spinpoint F3 Samsung is a very good combination. I'd recommend.

[EmperorZhang66]

@jupstejuho was gonna go that route but, i don't think the Vertex 2 is worth the money atm.

I have used an ssd, but £167 for 120gb is pushing it, i'll wait for the prioce drop after the vertex 3's, will use a 500gb f3 and a 2tb f4 raid 1 for the moment.

[palo569]

@EmperorZhang66 why do you need a ssd? you just play minecraft and watch porn......

[EmperorZhang66]

@palo569 em lol?

[TechieTeenGirl]

[xGarettx]

I guess in time they will become a lot cheaper and perhaps more people wouldn't hesitate to buy it despite the price. it's an amazing storage device, awesome review as always! :D
