Solid State Drive vs. Hard Drive Boot Comparison

[mikajoakkinen1]

this is only useful if you have an old pc with a few MB of ram DDR or DIMM, loading times shortens tremendously.

[TheEnde124]

I want SSD!

[Meedamon]

well if an ssd loads internet explorer faster, i'll just stick with my hdd!

[edgetechcorp]

@Meedamon I'm with you. Did you see that IE went below 50% market share for the first time in history this week?

[edgetechcorp]

@edgetechcorp IE and most Microsoft products are great tests for the speed of an SSD. If it can load those beasts quickly image what it can do with Chrome.

the computer on the left has too many registry errors, no way it should take that long for windows to load on startup, especially XP

[Shawnbfromsd]

@Mr91Nissan240sx lolol they are exact mirrors of each other... if there are registry errors then they both are having to deal with them

[joshgura]

the xp loading bar never goes more than 7 times in any machine i have had. the computer on the left needs to be freshly installed. of course it is going to boot slow if its full of spyware and prefetch.

Main problem of a first-world country inhabitant; Windows loads to slow.

[Nnamd]

Still to slow.

I got Windows 7 booting in35 seconds of 7200RPM Seagate on ASUS K50AB...

[oOBNOo]

Lol internet explorer.

@oOBNOo LMBO. IKR

[Klonoa115]

Vista loaded faster on my laptop than both of these laptops, and this is with a 5400 RPM HDD, 1 GB of DDR2, and a 1.86 GHz Intel Celeron CPU.

[Retoon41]

why both are slow, why even comparing?

[mikey1029384]

my macbook pro boots up faster than either one o.o

[think41c]

@mikey1029384 My Commodore 64 boots up instantaneously...

[chriss133]

@think41c but too bad there's no flash player =X

[VD54K]

@think41c so did my Atari 800

and it worked

every time

no updates needed ever

no firmware

it booted instantly and did what it was designed to do every single time

no crashes

no blue screens

it actually worked

odd concept

[22bobmagnus]

@mikey1029384 no one cares

[jimbob12gauge]

@mikey1029384 only because it has a bare bones, stripped down operating system that can run a fraction of the hardware and software supported under windows... good luck trying to do something like play Crysis on a crapple computer... if you want an OS for general/game support get windows, if you want a functional OS that keeps things simple get Linux. I have yet to find a single thing that mac OSx can do that neither of those can...
