Newegg is finally selling an Intel SSD. It is supposedly the fastest SSD on the market.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6820167005

Is it finally time to buy an SSD?

Interesting. For that money, no.

At that price, it better be more reliable than the SSDs we use at work. Those things are down all the time. They are fast, though (when they're working).

That guy always buys the most expensive shit he can. Have you seen the Crysis benchmarks he's done on some of his rigs? lol

But that made it pretty clear, the performance gain is negligible when you consider the price.

The only time an SSD is required is if you're worried about shock resistance. If not, just stick with a normal platter drive.

So if you're using a PC and in an area prone to earthquakes, an SSD might be worth thinking about.

$/GB is just stupid for that thing.

If you're going high end, X58's have SAS.

If it gets as cheap as normald HDDs - of course.
But until then buying it is a complete bullshit

Or if you like using your laptop at the same time as you are mountain biking.

SSDs aren't kings when it comes to pure bandwidth, they're about on level with a single raptor there. What makes them special is that they're not sensitive towards fragmentation, and thus, their search time is barely there. If you use a computer with a normal platter drive for one year, and one with an SSD, the SSD will be much, much faster than the platter drive. Same thing if you're copying thousands of small files.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

No, defragging them kills them.

Does it?

I thought it was just completely unnecessary. I didn't realise it was actually bad for them. Why is that?

No	76%	76% - 30
