  • ssd is nothing but a waste of money for the storage space

  • @cummings4409 No it's not. It's well worth the cash. You obviously have never used a pc with a nice SSD and Cpu...

  • @misterpc23 For mass storage it would still be cheaper to get a hard drive over ssd unless you are one of the idiots that would pay hundreds of dollars more so your computer starts up 2 seconds faster.

  • @STRIKER520 For sizes over 120gb yes, it would be cheaper to get a HDD. But quantities smaller than that it's better to get an SSD. It's not boot times that you notice the most. It's the responsiveness of the entire system.

  • I won't be building my machine till... 2012 maybe? well till prices drop :(

  • @evsidewinder2 You could go with an SSD for now and keep your programs limited until they drop back down.

  • fuck them i wont buy a shit until is get normal, fuck them.

  • I know, hard drives are so ridiculous. I just need a $50 dollar hard drive brand new, but now it's $150 and rising. Geez, I am on a tight budget, so I was forces to buy a $50 recertified hard drive from newegg.com. In my opinion, it's plain stupid to base all or most the manufacturing capacity of hard drives in Thailand!!!

  • It's not flooding. those places are sinking under the ocean.

  • Yea, I was going to by a 2.5" sata6gb 750gb 16mb cache 7200rpm for $99 , a 2.5" sata 1tb 5400rpm 8mb cache for $105, and an external 3tb 7200rpm for $125 back in early October ( 2months ago) . Those prices are just a dream now, wish I had done it when I had the chance!!!! Damn. Oh, if we had but world enough and time..........................­..

  • yep, prices gone up in some cases up to 300% their regular prices... really sucks!!
