I'm upgrading from a 5400RPM SATA HDD
For what I do the drive is fine & doesn't really bother me but I would love to be able to boot super fast & load games in amazing speeds (compared to this thing)
I am using XP 32-bit
The firmware update (to make the Vertex ~ X25-M) is already released & now in form 1275 correct?
Majority of the time I am browsing the web/foruming/IM/youtube - will this be bad for the SSD due to those small little writes?
Could that be fixed by disabling the browswer cache & cookies?
I only play Soldier Front and sometimes (L4D hardly) for games
For those of you who don't know what SF is, regardless how fast your computer is you still have to wait for everyone else to load so in the end it seems like the SSD solution is going to be put to waste here
When I do play L4D I go windowed so the onboard solution is no problem
AMD 780G
4GB DDR2 1066
7750 BE
onboard GFX
What do you guys think? Can MFT benefit me even though most of my usage is going to be pure reads? If so, how & in what areas?
I do not have the budget to buy more than 1 SSD & the SSD I do intend to get if any is the Vertex 30GB (enough space for me)
