Tbh I think there is something wrong with that right craptop, (did I mean laptop?) Firstly the screen should not be flickering secondly if the computers are virtually identical aside from the HDD (same CPU, RAM, MB and so on) The bios should post at the same time, there was a good 3 second gap there.
I have an adamo with the 256 solid state drive and the worm has turned for me. I do not think I will ever be able to have a spinning hardrive again. The adamo was a beautiful machine, just fragile. I have ordered the XPS 15, and cannot wait to get it! Thanks for reaffirming my choice! (I just wish the solid states were not so expensive.) Also the drive is hardy while the spinner has many moving parts to fail. Note that your processer will run hotter tho.
dude what is wrong with your laptops... my inspiron 1420 boots vista in 35 seconds from bios to login screen and it has an hdd that's so slow that when supefetch caches ram i cant start any progs cause the hdd is too slow.
Big problem here is that the one on the left POSTed quicker - that's before the SSD/HDD had been accessed ... use equivalent setups if you're doing a test.
@joselu90 Man I am using an SSD now and it is double the speed in every program I use . And in gaming it is amazing. And I am using it on the same previously HDD powered computer ($ gb GGR3 RAM, amd athlon x4 640, nvidia geforce 9600gt)
this one on the right with normal hdd is on battery so it will be slower. I know that SDD will be faster and i'm interested in replacing my 7200rpm hdd for sdd, but if you are doing test do it properly.
A HDD takes about 1 minute to boot in pretty much all tests that have been done, and in my experience that's usually how long it takes for a 7200 RPM. Seems like people are just pissed because they can't afford an SSD.
Still not very fast as i expected it to boot ... ur SSD boot up time rather same as mine using Caviar Blue... But the price i nid to pay is alot for a much smaller capacity
worst demonstration i have ever seen. first off, the fact that the computers are not identical setups is a crime for such a comparison. you have programs on one that are known to greatly slow computers (McAfee).
also, neither of your computers seem to boot at the speeds that they should. i have a seven year old dell laptop with a single core processor and a god-knows-what 60gb hard drive which loads faster than your hdd dell.
I use 20k scsi drives with a 15gb a sec transfer rate not as fast as ssd but faster than any old sata hdd i never switched due to ssd are pretty costly for a decent size.
the best stress test to perform here is a fresh install on both so that we know if the ssd is quicker at reading and writing because if so it should take about 5 mins to install Vista and 3 mins for Windows 7.
There are two different OS installs, look at the names when he is shutting em down. The black one is Home Premium, it looks like the red one is Basic. idk bout the red one, the quality of the vid was too bad to tell.
Not even standard HDDs should boot that slow. Something is wrong with the HDD rig. Not to say that SSD is slower, just that this isn't an accurate representation of actual HDD speeds.
@Derangedteddy my computer load up windows 7 in 17 sec from when i press power to when i can start up a game or the internet browser and I have a normal 7200 HDD
@Derangedteddy this is fake and gay, look at the two sides of the screen. they are not side by side. he is a lying sack of shit cunt. the right side is slowed down with a different face plate. Unless he has 2 right hands. HAHAHAHA
on a desktop not so much because you can get a raptor or even a regular 7200 rpm hdd in a laptop you se the diference because the hdd is most of the time a 4200 rpm wich is realy slow
The raptors suck now, just short stroke a Seagate 7200.12 or a Samsung Spinpoint F3, or a WD AAKS 640Gb Black Edition to 300Gb or less and you have the same speed, for much less of the price.
Agreed on the lappy HDDs, although its 5400RPM usually.
do not believe this shit ... they get paid to do this ... advertising to make you buy complete shite .... solid state drives are about 7% quicker .. in write mode ... but in read mode there shite
haha ur funny or something! haha 7% hahaha the raptor which is the fastest mechanical disc is about 120mb in read and write speed, these ssd is about 200 and up
Yeah sorry ... i was in a mood ... didnt mean to swear at you ... lol
just the point i should of made is PRICE over perfromance ...... to me it aint worth it ... im using 2 twin Vraptors 300... in raid.. performance is kool enough ... i have patience ...
Solid state should be a direct input to the mother through pci e ... if you knwo what i mean .. then mayeb ide consider buying it for the mentalist prices
No problem, i didn't mean to offend you either maybe it looked like it when i wrote "haha".. sry then..
Yeah there are some cards out there that is done for the pcie but damn they cost like 5000euro here for one terabyte, sure the reading is like 1200mbytes per sec.. but still it isnt price worthy, maybe in some years i hope it will go down till then we will sit tight and wait :)
Not so good at the moment, but im planning on buying new stuff in nov.
my idea right now is a hd 5870, core i7 860, 6gb 1600mhz OCZ 7-7-7-24, 2x 1500gb hdd at 5400rpm quiet ones for download etc. and one system drive at 1 tb.. im aiming for a very silent system. so it will probably be in a antec p183. :) what about you?
Yeah i think it's boring too, never really enjoyed it.. The graphics made the whole game..
Half-life is really nice remember when it was new and i was scared of hell when i played it..
And im an old Resident evil and silent hill fan hehe :P so it was kinda strange.. wonder if they are working on half life 3?
now that would be something!
Borderlands and left 4 dead 2 is next for me. hate that left for dead 2 costs though, its practically the same game but with new maps, new enemies and guns..
Yeah same here i cant wait for half life 3 ... but i got an idea that they might be releasing EP3 :( and black mesa
Borderlands looks really kool ... but L4D2
is basically the first release of the game .. as L4D was rushed out for sale too quick ... the graphics werent what they was supposed to be ... loool
they keep cutting out stuff from games and its annoying so upon final release we get some watered down garbage tap water .. or in some cases filtered water ...
That's never "Dell factory fresh setup". I'm using Vista on an 160GB 2,5" 7200 rpm HDD and I need about 35-45 secs to be desktop and work-ready(incl. typing the password)
how could it possibly take that long to boost vista. im running a old p4 2.2ghz with old ide drives, its 10x faster than that. something is wrong with the one on the right..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
HDD is a lot more Durable, an SSD is Fast but starts to slow down after a bit of long time usage. It's Either Boost of Amazing Speeds or a Longer Lasting Hard drive
I purchased a Studio XPS 16 with the SSD and man, it is the fastest computer I've ever used, and I've always owned higher end gaming rigs. Amazing step forward for HDs.
True SDD's are great, but after about 100,000 read/writes the memory cells start to degrade, and cause the disk to loose performance. AS opposed to some 1-2 billion read/writes on a normal HDD. Don't believe me look it up on wikipedia!!!!
perfct example of effects of porn on hard drivs, Im guessing you couldent fit the porn in the ssd since its like 60 gig compared to 200 gig or more on HDD.
yeah same i have a dell laptop with hdd (inspiron 6400(i know... old)) with vista sp1( home premium) of course, and it dosnt take half as long as that hdd does.
To clarify for everyone, SSD is faster because of one single MAIN reason.....that being solid state(no moving parts) It has access to data much faster than a moving hard drive....as I said, a HDD has to move revolve to find data, as where an SSd is just basically instant.....now it sad.....that some people will pay 800$ more(macbook Air) just for that 30 seconds. And honestly, My old (2004) Gateway with an IDE HARD DRIVE, still has a boot of about 40-45 seconds...so perfectly reasonable.
Why don't you make a cheap SD card hard drive, put four 32 gb sd cards in a matrix and make a hard drive out of it. SD cards are a heck a lot smaller, cheaper and energy efficient. SDHC got up to 32gb and the new SDXC which the Pretec already released starts at 32gb and goes up to 2tb on a singe tiny card.
i have a few questions if someone can help me with please??
1. what is the diffrence between ssd and hd drives i know ssd drives have instant access etc can someone tell me all the benefits like when i turn my computer on does it turn on quicker then a hd drive wat other benefits do you get?
lastly if i bought a laptop with a normal hd drive and later on i saved more money and decided to upgrade the hd drive to a ssd is this easy can i just take the hd drive out and slot a ssd?
teh SSD connects just as your normal HDD, and what you get is much better responsiveness... everything is faster, and it gives more comfort wirking with it. On the down side, the write performance, especially with small files isn't that great... if you have to copy a big folder (I have one game folder of 13GB, and 60000 files) it can take a lot longer than a classic HDD... but that gets better and better as technology advances...
Anyway ssd stands for solid state drive meaning its just like one massive flash memory drive and since there is virtually no seek time it makes it more instantaneous.
There incredibly expensive and these are only really used by people that want to store there OS on also they're shock resistant meaning if u drop it u wont have to pay another £500 for a new one and lose crucial info.
SSD's still suck right now. If you replace that HDD with a 7200 rpm one, you'll have way more capacity than the SSD for much cheaper, the read speeds will be almost on par, and the write speeds will be much faster.
Did any one not notice one of the laptops are not plugged in? I know on mine, when its not plugged in, it tries to save power by slowing down (throttling) the CPU by half and the screen isn't as bright.
This is sooo rigged. The intitial boot up (where the dell loads) thats of the bios, on the mother board. no matter what that should be equal. I think the person above is correct- one needs to be plugged in. And i think the motherboards are different. Can the uploader varify?
After making the video, I noticed one laptop was plugged in. I think it may have made slight difference it still won't beat the SSD.
SSD actually do POST faster than HDD. I think it's because there is no spin-up time for SSD. It is same M/B, manufactured within a week apart. Same BIOS revision. Now i have Latitude E6400 with SSD and Latitude E4200 with SSD. Both with second gen SSD drives. These are even faster than the XPS I tested.
Ahh spin-up time would make sense yes, although i wasn't under the impression that effected the bios. I thought that the disk starts spinning as soon as the power is turned on, and then actually used in post bios when it loads all your devices (USB ports, PCi-e etc). Could be wrong though, I don't know a huge deal in this area.
Thanks for the varification though :). After doing some reading, I hear that their actually limitting the speed of these drives. Typical.
WTF?!?! Tereis deffintely sth wrong with the HDD model... mine is a inspiron 1525 with hdd and CCF w/e of a plasma, not shure.. and the load up is just a little slower than your XPS SSD, idk whats the problem with yours :\
Yeah something's up in this vid. I have a 4 month old HP laptop that was $700 from Office max. And it actuaclly boots up faster than the demonstraited SSD laptop here (taking out the preloaded crap helps a bunch)
Just stay away from those extremely cheap ones. I tried Patriot WASP and it was complete garbage due to stuttering. I tried Samsung, Mtron and Intel and those are all great.
Come on, at Dell you can choose 7200 RPM HDD's. An if you're looking for performance, you might get the m6400 with raid 0 dual 7200 RPM and 250 G per HDD.
M6400 is a sweet machine. I would like to get a M6400 Covet in blood orange. But for my everyday mobility needs, I'm sticking to Latitude E4200 because its light.
SSD companies are making write speed bottlenecked cheapo ssd drives with slow chips or at high prices on purpose to protect the hdd market shares on wallstreet, rich pigs can get quality ssd drives and common lower income consumers can go fuck themselves with pc bottlenecking hdd's
because of the way SSDs work, they take longer to write to that hard disks. multi level cell (MLC) drives are about half as fast for writes than a traditional hard disk, but the single level cell (SLC) drives are getting pretty close, though you do tend to pay a premium and get less storage for your money.
errr using a ssd make ur computer start up fast but multitasking will make your comp operate so horribly so u phail! with a ph not an F, plus having a hardrive makes u Data more secure and u read and wright better and u can multitask with it
I think the laptop on the right needs plugging in, it's unfair running the left one plugged in and the right one not plugged in, that'll also be why the screen was so dim.
I know it won't account for all of the slowness, but my xps isn't that slow!
Something's wrong with the xps on the right. You need to format or change the hard drive. I have a Vostro 1400 using a 160gb 5400rpm and it's way faster than your xps.
The Laptop on the right has problems. The Bios was loading slow, therefore taking the bios longer to even start the disk drive. The laptops didn't start loading windows at the same time. (not fair) :(**
This is a very bad comparison.
Point 1
Look to the left of Laptop 1 (SSD) Notice the black cord poking out of the side?
This is the power-cord plugin. Showing that laptop 1 is infact plugged in.
Laptop 2 is pressed up flat against laptop 1. = Running on battery power = less preformance.
Point 2
Watch the initial startup
The motherboard post screen is much slower on laptop 2. This is not affected by a HDD or SDD. Prob due to the lack of power-cord.
Although it is undeniable SSD>HDD Always

is basically the first release of the game .. as L4D was rushed out for sale too quick ... the graphics werent what they was supposed to be ... loool
they keep cutting out stuff from games and its annoying so upon final release we get some watered down garbage tap water .. or in some cases filtered water ...

True SDD's are great, but after about 100,000 read/writes the memory cells start to degrade, and cause the disk to loose performance. AS opposed to some 1-2 billion read/writes on a normal HDD. Don't believe me look it up on wikipedia!!!!

xMLGxGamer2284 2 years ago
To clarify for everyone, SSD is faster because of one single MAIN reason.....that being solid state(no moving parts) It has access to data much faster than a moving hard drive....as I said, a HDD has to move revolve to find data, as where an SSd is just basically instant.....now it sad.....that some people will pay 800$ more(macbook Air) just for that 30 seconds. And honestly, My old (2004) Gateway with an IDE HARD DRIVE, still has a boot of about 40-45 seconds...so perfectly reasonable.

Why don't you make a cheap SD card hard drive, put four 32 gb sd cards in a matrix and make a hard drive out of it. SD cards are a heck a lot smaller, cheaper and energy efficient. SDHC got up to 32gb and the new SDXC which the Pretec already released starts at 32gb and goes up to 2tb on a singe tiny card.
LTF85199 2 years ago
LTF, because SD cards are NOT solid state drives. They are based on the same technology, but SD cards are far slower than the SSds.

i have a few questions if someone can help me with please??
1. what is the diffrence between ssd and hd drives i know ssd drives have instant access etc can someone tell me all the benefits like when i turn my computer on does it turn on quicker then a hd drive wat other benefits do you get?
lastly if i bought a laptop with a normal hd drive and later on i saved more money and decided to upgrade the hd drive to a ssd is this easy can i just take the hd drive out and slot a ssd?
yos9636 2 years ago
teh SSD connects just as your normal HDD, and what you get is much better responsiveness... everything is faster, and it gives more comfort wirking with it. On the down side, the write performance, especially with small files isn't that great... if you have to copy a big folder (I have one game folder of 13GB, and 60000 files) it can take a lot longer than a classic HDD... but that gets better and better as technology advances...

Better explanation. Sorry Guy Above.
Anyway ssd stands for solid state drive meaning its just like one massive flash memory drive and since there is virtually no seek time it makes it more instantaneous.
There incredibly expensive and these are only really used by people that want to store there OS on also they're shock resistant meaning if u drop it u wont have to pay another £500 for a new one and lose crucial info.

I would just stick with the hdd because its bucket loads cheaper and you can fit a lot of memory on hdds nowadays.

Hmm. Something seems fishy in that video.
My friend's xps boots way faster than the one on the right and he is running Vista with all the factory bloatware.
Plus, the one on the right isn't even plugged in! Or did you enable full performance on battery life?

SSD's still suck right now. If you replace that HDD with a 7200 rpm one, you'll have way more capacity than the SSD for much cheaper, the read speeds will be almost on par, and the write speeds will be much faster.
mrjspeed 3 years ago
depends, but the 7200 will reach as far as 150mb/s write speed whereas the ssd is capable of 170 and more

This is sooo rigged. The intitial boot up (where the dell loads) thats of the bios, on the mother board. no matter what that should be equal. I think the person above is correct- one needs to be plugged in. And i think the motherboards are different. Can the uploader varify?
Strid3r01 3 years ago
After making the video, I noticed one laptop was plugged in. I think it may have made slight difference it still won't beat the SSD.
SSD actually do POST faster than HDD. I think it's because there is no spin-up time for SSD. It is same M/B, manufactured within a week apart. Same BIOS revision. Now i have Latitude E6400 with SSD and Latitude E4200 with SSD. Both with second gen SSD drives. These are even faster than the XPS I tested.
telusm 3 years ago
Ahh spin-up time would make sense yes, although i wasn't under the impression that effected the bios. I thought that the disk starts spinning as soon as the power is turned on, and then actually used in post bios when it loads all your devices (USB ports, PCi-e etc). Could be wrong though, I don't know a huge deal in this area.
Thanks for the varification though :). After doing some reading, I hear that their actually limitting the speed of these drives. Typical.

Come on, at Dell you can choose 7200 RPM HDD's. An if you're looking for performance, you might get the m6400 with raid 0 dual 7200 RPM and 250 G per HDD.

please be a troll...
because of the way SSDs work, they take longer to write to that hard disks. multi level cell (MLC) drives are about half as fast for writes than a traditional hard disk, but the single level cell (SLC) drives are getting pretty close, though you do tend to pay a premium and get less storage for your money.

I think the laptop on the right needs plugging in, it's unfair running the left one plugged in and the right one not plugged in, that'll also be why the screen was so dim.
I know it won't account for all of the slowness, but my xps isn't that slow!
