#141 I'm going to be buying my first solid state drive tomorrow

Posted by SpleenBeGone on 12 January 2012 - 06:51 PM

A solid state drive is a drive that uses flash memory instead of magnetic platters like conventional hard drives. Though currently they hold less space than a typical hard disk drive, they make great boot drives, for a few reasons. First of all, the lack of moving parts means they're more stable. Secondly, they are absurdly faster at loading data than disk drives. You can normally go from power on to a loaded windows environment in <10 seconds. (If you time your computer now, you'll see how big of a difference that is. Also, since the operating system is on this drive and loading things so much faster, things on a separate disk drive also load faster, as well as anything else you have on the SSD. On modern computers, a lot of the loading time is actually caused by the time it takes a hard drive to pull up the information, not bottlenecked by the processor or ram anymore.

IMO, it's the best upgrade you could get for any modern computer.

To keep everyone happy, and make the site easy to view for all, there are two skins. Animate is a dark skin and Aura is a light skin. Please feel free to choose whatever works best for you.
