Dumb question on SSD

[Pandemic]

I think about the fastest SSD on the market is the Crucial300Real 256 GB, at least for read, maybe also write?

This is designed for labtops, yet it seems faster than any hard drive for desktops?

Is there any reason not to use this as the fastest desktop HD? Cost is ok with me as is space and i know how to stop it bricking.

Am I correct on this?

Sorry to ask the dumb question but 3 years out of touch and its like SDD .. huh thats new.

They're not designed specifically for laptops, they're 2.5" simply because they don't need to be any bigger.

ah ok. I got 1 a couple of weeks ago for my new desktop i built; but then after i got it read something saying it was for laptops and though eeek! how i miss that?

anyway its upgraded to 1.02 and seems very happy, cool and fast.

i'd assumed from what i was reading they were really for laptops but then i thought why or had i made some huge and costly mistake?



thankyou 🙂 I should have realised the answer i guess 🙂

@pandemic - can you post some benchmarks with the drive?

real world tests are what you want to look for; that's usually the 4k random read/write iops
