@ nobyboy - 3.08.13 - 03:49pm companies need to bring the prices down they take the pi*s They can only bring prices down when new technology and cheaper production methods arise. A 10MB hard disk in the 70s cost around 5000 dollars you know |

@ newt182 - 3.08.13 - 03:40pm Speed is the main benefit. HDD's have been a bottleneck for years now, they are old tech. Speed, yep i know that but what you mean by speed? Does it have to be use with an ordinary HDD and boost its speed or does the SSD itself will be high in speed like transferring files on the disk? |

SSD's are a lot quicker than HDD'S in all speed tests that I know of, from small files read and write to larger files read/write. Seek times. HDD's are only better for storing files and that's ONLY because they are cheaper. If SSD's cost the same as HDD's then HDD's would be completley pointless.

Speed as in access time and read times and write times. Meaning the time to find and move data is massively superior to a mechanical drive which has to actually physically move to find the required data. A good SSD can read small files like 4k files at a rate ten times a mechanical drive. Everything works.... Faster. Booting and opening programs and data, moving files, everything.

You know when you turn on your computer and you have to wait maybe another 30 seconds after it reaches the desktop screen before it responds to clicking like the browser icon before the browser opens? Yeah well literally the instant start menu appears and pinned icons etc you click them and they load. Within two seconds. It'll load something like gimp photo editor in maybe 5 seconds fresh when a good mechanical drive could be 20+ easily. The machine is just much more responsive.

Yep thats the word, read files yea i know what it can do lol you can boot your computer fast. Besides that, (speed) what other purpose it got? Why the big hype bout it? |

I never shutdown my computer, only hibernate them so whenever i switched on, i get to my desktop within a few seconds. |
