Solid State Hard Drives

ssh'd's are loading xp in 3 seconds. easy

my 10,00rpm takes about roughly 8-12 seconds? i think that sounds right, i never sat there an counted as it loads.

It also eats installs, I could only imagine having an sshd you wont even feel the install.

I can't wait till the are able to get the write speeds up as well. And I want to know WHAT THE FUCK you are doing trying to put a hard drive through a 1000g drop...

Next thing you know this will be the way to provide intel with out damage.

I still say the little buggers better be able to run out on their own.

please. that was about HD's in general. This is about SSD's only. Don't try to look cool.

My understanding is someone came up with tech that will completely transform the amount of space able to be stored on flash memory. If this is correct and comes out in the near future, it will make anything completely pathetic in terms of space. It would be extremely difficult to justify these drives at this price.

I thought you could just run XP off a 8/16 flash drive anyway which is much less expensive than the SDD.

Yeah, "ready boost." It uses a flash drive that is "ready boost" compatible to store OS data, so your OS loads very quickly and it's drivers and related file operations are loaded more quickly.

I am actually using a Ready Boost drive on my gaming rig. I did some research, and at the time (about 8 months ago) only the very expensive flash drives were fast enough to make ready boost usefull. So I have a 200 dollar sandisk something or other and my OS loads about twice as fast... but other than that I am not sure I get much of a performance boost.

All that aside, I am really excited about the potential of Flash Memory storage drives.

LOL..dude i AM cool. You say it every night before bedtime. The whole THREAD was about HDD's, but i was joking with the dude on screwing regular HDD and getting SSD. The links are what i was really trying to call attention to in my post.

See you tonight honey... :P
