That one was an SSD and so be will the one that replaces it. They are just so damn fast!
I just canât go back to boot on plate disks
I donât think I could either.
Yeah, that extra 5 seconds is a real killer
Iâm really really impatient.
Start 5 seconds earlier then
multitask - do something else while itâs loading
this old system I got boots fast even while starting some programs
Some games, like fallout, are almost impossible to play on a regular HD for some reason
When I installed W7 on my SSD when I got it, I also installed it on a 7200 RPM barracuda to test
needless to say, it was more than 5 seconds after you install all drivers and antivirus on the ssd
Are you seriously arguing with me about having an SSD HD?
How the hell is it worth the money?
Itâs not
I think it is.
This server has an SSD drive.
Yeah and ya let the smoke out
the non ssd would have taken the spike and kept itâs smoke
Quit talking shit. You donât know that.
I do know that
âFlash SSDs are non-volatile, right? So how could power failures screw with your data? Several ways, according to a ZDNet post that summarizes a paper (PDF) presented at last monthâs FAST 13 conference. Researchers from Ohio State and HP Labs researchers tested 15 SSDs using an automated power fault injection testbed and found that 13 lost data.
âBit corruption hit 3 devices; 3 had shorn writes; 8 had
serializability errors; one device lost 1/3 of its data; and 1 SSD
bricked. The low-end hard drive had some unserializable writes, while
the high-end drive had no power fault failures. The 2 SSDs that had no
failures? Both were MLC 2012 model years with a mid-range ($1.17/GB)
price.ââ
Science - I has it
And what did they find in comparison with a non-SSD?
In here - it sez hard drives are better - take a look - interesting
Well, never had an OS corruption after I installed my SSD and had power failures
It doesnât say they are better. They fail all the time. That said, in light of the article you kindly shared (thank you) I am going to slap my bar on the UPS I have when I get a new SSD which is NOT going to be a Seagate.
5.7 - it states hard drives are more reliable
More reliable. Pffft. They are so hit and miss these days that means sweet fuck all.
