Upgrading all your computers to SSD? (Solid State Drives) - GoFuckYourself.com

johnnyloadproductions · 05-22-2013, 06:16 PM

I had an older gateway (well 5 year old model) that I put a Samsung solid state drive 840 series in, 250GB.

Even with a 7200rpm 320GB drive in there before, it has a noticeable performance increase.
Main reason I got it is I sometimes do Skype sessions with demonstrations and things need to be very fast with all he programs running simultaneously.

Plus, the slight noise reduction always helps.

Curious when they will get some of the Solid State technology small enough where they can start using cartridges rather than discs in game systems again.

I doubt you`ll ever see cartridge based systems again. No way they could get the costs down to below the cost of blu-ray or other optical discs. Most likely they will keep pushing downloads. It basically kills the used market for games and saves them money in many other areas as well. Although Microsoft did mention something about being able to trade or sell your used digital downloads with others for a fee on the new xbox.

I agree though, ssd is the best upgrade you can do for any system. I'll never build another PC without one.

I only have two Intel 520 Series SSD's in my computer... one 480 gb and one 240 gb one...

SSDs still suffer from a limited number of read/write cycles as well. Until that is addressed they will not be suitable for I/O-heavy operations.

Can you run them externally via USB 2 or would you need to get USB 3?
