Solid State Drives


Recommended Posts

I have a 32GB OCZ SSD in my desktop machine as the Windows boot disk. Is incredibly fast but was very expensive. Good performance, if you can afford them and, due to the lack of moving parts, it makes them good for laptops which are prone to being dropped.

Cost is the only reason SSD's aren't standard everywhere. Not just because SSD's are expensive, but also because hard drive manufacturers keep driving down the cost of hard drives. I think they see the writing on the wall.

There are downsides, but we'll get used to 'em.

I just bought two 1.5 TB Seagates for $114 each. It'll be some time before the solid state HD's can compete with that.
