I remember one day at "Ye Olde Computer Workshop" when I ended up low level formatting some hard drive, at the behest of the owner, just before I ghosted an image onto it. Obviously a single low level zero write format isn't anything to write home about really, but what happened next is. After I...

Yes, who cares if those aren't representative of programs you would have loading? Also it's obviously not a video aimed at the likes of you or me who clean their boots/installations/running_programs/etc with a fine tooth comb. It still show a major advantage over getting to a Ready-To_use status...

I happen to own the Intel SSD X25-M G2. It's Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) is somewhere around the neighborhood of...hmm...lets see here...1.2 million hours, aka 136.98630137 years! Also, I have had several mechanical Hard Disk failures, and when they fail, I mean really FAIL, there isn't...

Bottom line is: SSD are the future, no question about it. We are really no longer in "Early Adoption Phase' anymore really, more like mid-early phase. Sure, you can wait for the tech to get better and cheaper, but that goes without saying for pretty much any piece of computer hardware, it's the...

Yeah seriously, some of you guys are some bitter cynical curmudgeons in training.

Are you kidding? Have you even read AnandTech in the last year? Anand has repeatedly shown reasons to justify the cost of switching to a SSD. In fact, Anand IS the reason I bought my SSD. Reading this thread reminds me of how some people are slow to adopt new technology, and how they claim...

Yeah, I had a 8800 Ultra running it, but I sold it off to a friend. What is the cheapest alternative for an extra Physx card without it being a crappy alternative, any ideas and/or links?

Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 256MB DDR3, will I be able to use this card as a Physx card, or is it just a bit too slow to cut the mustard?

Sounds righteous :cool:

Yeah I read that AT article some time ago, I keep up with the AT SSD epic articles heh. So wait, that drive160GB will be about $414 after promo code? BAH, of course it is out of stock, when does that promo code cease to be able to be used do you know?

Well i would want to use the SSD for games I think, right?

Yeah, they are also rather cheap. Comes to about $240 for the both of them.

What about two of these in RAID 0? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139004

Count me in

Hmmm, I usually go for the WD Greens for storage. I can't think of a reason I would need super fast storage, even when I stream to my PS3 it only needs several MB of throughput at a time.For my storage of large amounts of files I use something that will be the most efficient as possible and last...
