What about recovering data from raw metal vs ssd recovery with parity failures? Will I be better off one day when a stand infront of my pc with the harddrive failed or with an ssd that has failed and proved to be not responding.hehe
@TheCharrigan Yes, I do actually. It's just that, I'm not that picky about 10ms, and know how to get the best out of my money. Again, SSD's are a lazy, and cost-ineffective way of solving a simple problem.
It's not to mention their limited overall usage.
And if I really wanted to ramp out the speed, I'd RAID-0 (or even RAID 10) some 15K rpm Cheetahs or Ultra Stars.
In either case, I could do with 2-4 HDD's, with what 1 moderately sized SSD could do.
@TheCharrigan Ah, my bad. 10ms. That's about what? The time it takes to snap a finger? In the end I'd still have ridiculously fast read/write times, comparatively massive storage, and enough money to visit Starbucks and buy an overpriced coffee.
Or I could RAID-5 four f3 Spinpoints, and decrease my latency even further, gain MORE storage, and spend even less money.
And in either case, I'd have more writes.
SSD's are just the lazy man's way of configuring a system.
@AndrewDeLong SSD's are going to replace mechanical drives. And they will come down in price. You can bitch at how HDD's are superior to SSD's all day but in the end there is NO comparison between the two. Not to mention you can CACHE a 1 TB HDD with SSD-close speeds. HDD's are just for those who have no money and don't care about speed. HDD's are the bottlenecks in today's computers. Get your facts straight.
@VICARI0S Lol. SSD's are still finicky as all hell, only have a three year warranty (as opposed to a 5 year warranty on any decent HDD like a VR Drive), and offer minimal storage for the money they cost.
Whereas a SSD can lose all its data with a mere shock to your system, a HDD will not.
SSD's might be relevant in another 5 years, but as of right now, they are still pathetically underwhelming in terms of durability and cost effectiveness.
You want speed, storage, and cost? Pair up a couple of 300GB 10,000 RPM VelociRaptor HDD's in RAID-0. Take a third HDD at 1TB with the standard 7200 RPM, and use that as data backup via Acronis or Norton Ghost.
More storage than a SSD of the same price, damn near the same speeds, and with the 1TB HDD, a perfect data backup.
Oh, and a 5 year manufacturer warranty versus the 3 year BS that every SSD manufacturer gives today.
Oh, and HDD's won't go KAPUT from a simple static shock. SSD's will.
@GlobalGaming101 That makes no sense, you want your OS to load up at near impossible to decipher speeds, but the data you use MOST to load p the slowest?
Sure, but it sure can provide it with the right HDD, 3 7200+ RPM SATA (2 or 3) HDD drives, the speed difference is nominal, but the storage space is just insane. It would take benchmark software to really notice any real difference in speed.
Though FYI, RAID 0 is for Size and speed (Not suggest/recommended for anyone who needs redundancy in their drive setup)
and BTW, dont get offended or anything at the "smart ass" I like to use that as saying SILLY. But all I know about RAIDS is that it is mostly used for servers and is basically so that if one hard drive stops working it instantly sends all that information it was tranfersing to the first hard drive to the second hard drive incredibly fast.
The thing is RAID 0 for servers is at best a stupid idea, their is no redundancy and for the current day computer being made for home users, RAID 0 is a viable options since more and more MB are being built with 1-2 raid controllers built into it (Mine has 2, though 1 is for the [2] SATA 3 internal ports). So, Suggestions as a simple RAID setup will end up saving money and provide much greater flexibility for the consumer needs.
60gig SSD $100 although to be safe, i'd rather have a 100+gig drive for Windows 7, because of updates and programs that force you to install to the windows drive. Then use HDD for file storage/games/apps/etc.
@guest2424 trust me..ya DONT need 100 plus gig size storage drive JUST for windows 7 ( even if you got win 7 pro and downloaded & installed xp mode). the MOST windows 7 takes up right now for all it's updates, adobe reader and flash player, all of your drivers and other required important things is around 24 gigs TOPS. ONE of my setups=60 ( shows up as 55.whatever gigs in win 7 pro 64) mushkin callisto deluxe ssd has the o.s., iTunes, yahoo msgr, xp mode, K-lite codec pack, skype..15+gigs left
My $320 Compaq Presario Cq60-615DX has a $220 Intel X25-M SSD inside, and it boots Windows 7 in 15 seconds, it doesn't even have time to show the "starting windows" flareon logo when it boots.
well ssd's are alot cheaper now but still a 1tb hdd is better then a ssd un;ess u need the speed or are a super hardcore gamer with a 10000$ pc u might as well buy one
@DBZisthebestanimever You've clearly never used an SSD drive then. I boot into Windows 7 in under 10 seconds on a normal SSD, not even a high end extremely fast one. File read/write times are almost instant. I don't ever need to defrag either, my SSD will never slow down. Sure it costs more, but the hard drive is your bottleneck on your computer. Speed up your SSD and you've essentially sped up your computer in general.
@Dysbulic That 3 seconds faster was a reference to watching porn. Anyway I'm a gamer and gaming depends on something other than the SSD while load times may become 3 times faster with an SSD the gameplay will not change.
@Dysbulic I can boot my ASUS 701 in 16 seconds...and its only a 900Mhz with 2Gb DDRII RAM running 32bit WinXP!! (I put in an 8Gb CF Card to the spare Mini PCI slot with an adapter bridge and use that as my Virtual Ram...whao its kinda FAST!!)
for once Brandon (i think thats his name) dosent seem to have the correct knowledge about what they are talking about.
You dont use SSD´s for its speed in read and writes, you use it tho get fast access time, ~0.2ms on SSD´s vs ~5-7ms on HDD´s.
Fast access time is what gets your computer fast and responsive, because the OS, programs and games can get the data they need mutch faster than they could on an HDD.
I could really care lass about speed. the only reason I would use a ssd over hdd is because of the fact that there are no moving parts to lock-up or shatter or bend or break.
it depends on what use people do of ssd, ssd are very good if you plan to use them only for OS and application, they will last very long, i would just store my files somewhere else, anyway i don't thing ssd are good for server, but for people and laptop is a very good choice

Not my problem nor fault if you can't handle the truth when you egg on someone to point it out to ya.This isn't "help the AKcharlie the pubescent" channel with his insecurity problems. all your comments proof my point.
@AKCharlie47 and don't bother replying because i'm done wasting my time trying to educate a silly little girl inside a boy's body like yourself. " hguuuu..mr tough guy over youtube..guguuuhuhuhuhuhuhuh" beavis & butthead called and said they don't like competition so why are you acting as stupid as they were? grow up spanky. No one of any realistic wisdom or intelligence cares what you think. you're wasting your time kid. you're a dime a dozen that lost value before time began. you're done.
If you build your own computer, can you put this SSD inside instead of a Hard Drive? What is going to happen to Hard Drives if the SSD becomes more popular? Pretty decent interview.
I'm running a 120gb SSD and a 1tb HDD. The SSD boots windows, and holds a few or my games, programs, and start up apps. I use the HDD for my music and video collection, and the rest of my games (that I don't play as often). $320 investment for my two primary storage devices ($240 SSD, $80 HDD) and I still have 44.6gb free on the SSD. I haven't run into trouble keeping speed priority programs on my SSD, and the price for performance has been totally worth it.
Installed Kingston SSD to my Asus C90s (upgradeable laptop), every single load time is at least 25% faster, some over 50%.
You have no money to buy an SSD? Come on, people pay much more for their Macs. Buying new computer? Get one with an SSD, you can still brag about it as it is not so common.
I'm on a laptop at the moment so can only house one HDD so upgraded it to 640GB HDD. But if I were to get a desktop I'd probably get the best of both, a 1TB or 2TB HDD for general media and say a 64 or 128GB SSD for the Windows install etc.
I'd say get a hybrid SSD, I have one now, it's a Seagate Momentus XT. I'm in no way a big fan of Seagate, but must applaud Seagate for this product. I have a 500GB drive in my MacBook Pro, never had any problems with it. Made my system at least 75% more responsive than usual, programs open faster, and cost me only around $150. "Hybrid SDD" for those who don't know is a HDD equipped with 4GB of SSD in it.
Since so many constructors now propose laptops with hybrid disks, can you throw in a few words on these? Is it a good compromise? Or does it "only" boost the startup time and then you get no speed benefit ?
Some British Scientist have some up with a hard drive that stores data on glass. By using a laser to rearrange the atoms in the glass by creating areas of polarised light which can be read by the computer. The data is able to survive temperatures of 1000 °C, Water and can last for over a thousand without any data loss.
What about recovering data from raw metal vs ssd recovery with parity failures? Will I be better off one day when a stand infront of my pc with the harddrive failed or with an ssd that has failed and proved to be not responding.hehe

Hey Chris Do You Wanna Send Me An SSD?
thetechfixer 6 months ago
Installed Kingston SSD to my Asus C90s (upgradeable laptop), every single load time is at least 25% faster, some over 50%.
You have no money to buy an SSD? Come on, people pay much more for their Macs. Buying new computer? Get one with an SSD, you can still brag about it as it is not so common.

Ok two questions
what is the difference with flash memory/storage and an SSD?
why are SSD 512GB and not just 500GB?

I'm on a laptop at the moment so can only house one HDD so upgraded it to 640GB HDD. But if I were to get a desktop I'd probably get the best of both, a 1TB or 2TB HDD for general media and say a 64 or 128GB SSD for the Windows install etc.

I like to think of SSD's like a lot of memory cards stuck into a hard drive cabinet.
Is the wrong?

I would say the ideal situation (although not cost effective for most people) is a 64 or 128 GB SSD and a larger 1 TB or so HDD.

I'd say get a hybrid SSD, I have one now, it's a Seagate Momentus XT. I'm in no way a big fan of Seagate, but must applaud Seagate for this product. I have a 500GB drive in my MacBook Pro, never had any problems with it. Made my system at least 75% more responsive than usual, programs open faster, and cost me only around $150. "Hybrid SDD" for those who don't know is a HDD equipped with 4GB of SSD in it.

Since so many constructors now propose laptops with hybrid disks, can you throw in a few words on these? Is it a good compromise? Or does it "only" boost the startup time and then you get no speed benefit ?

What storage is best for database writes then? (If regular spindle drives are considered too slow for this purpose)

@DevHQLessons Hybrids. Database "over-rights" will burn through an SSD's Write count pretty fast.

Some British Scientist have some up with a hard drive that stores data on glass. By using a laser to rearrange the atoms in the glass by creating areas of polarised light which can be read by the computer. The data is able to survive temperatures of 1000 °C, Water and can last for over a thousand without any data loss.

HDD for me, until as many have said, the price of SSD's come down and their capacity increases.
CJCA915 6 months ago

My previous notebook only had 120gb and it has always been sufficient to me
