Your games will be installed on mechnical if you have a big collection like freakin 13 games that are avg 7gb each ,, did you put that on your 160G3 no you didnt,, pointless for me especially that I run a DAW... I need everything installed on primary drive and I got GB of DAW sh*T . and I point data to my 320GB WDC SE.
A DAW is a digital audio workstation, and it doesn't have to be on the primary. Mine is spanned over a few drives for read/write speed.
You say that you need everything on primary, but that it does not need to be on primary?
You do realize we are different people (thank God) and you quoted him then me, right?![]()
I am with tweakboy on this subject. I think I'll skip nand based ssd altogether. While they are rather good for laptops and such, they are not fit for desktops and will never be. they are made of some sort of chemicals with extremely short write/read cycles and they are verrrrry slow as well. the fact that you are fooled into believing they are fast is that they are heavily raided, the transistors themselves are slow switching.
dear science so much wrongness.
First of all, the current NAND based solutions are several times faster then any spindle drive in sequential read/writes, and HUNDREDS of times faster in random reads/writes. They are literally saturating SATA bus.
Second of all, NAND is already more then enough in terms of reliability, with the average person needing hundreds of years to waste it all. Mine is going at less then 3% of lifespan per year. so it would take me 33 years to use it all up. And the more space you have, the longer the lifespan.
Third, everything is made out of chemicals... SSD operation actually has nothing to do with chemical reaction... it has to do with electricity and got a lot in common with capacitors.
There is no "fooling"... they are not raided, they are better then raided. The multi chanel writing system is better than raid0... but so what? and spindle drives have multiple platters with two heads per platter (although they do not move independently), and RAM works in dual chanel with DDR^3, and CPUs are multi core... btw, for extra speed the SSDs are getting DDR as well as their multi Chanel operation starting with the upcoming generation.
But all of this is totally irrelevant engineering decisions. what matters is that in benchmark they annihilate the competition.
Everything you said is absolutely correct. But I still don't believe we are living in a real world. I have no real evidence of this, it's just a gut feeling I got after watching The Matrix.
fixed
not really gut feeling. some knowledge can not ( easily ) be expressed in words. ( intuition maybe? ). that is what I mean. Does anyone really seriously think these things are a great next gen tech? how many people come here and complain that they don't notice a significant and worthy boost for their money? everytime you are doing heavy read write work on your computer you are forced to think one more cycle less life for my ssd.
My point is its subjective to the user and their use of the system.
And my point is, a new tech should not be subjective. It should be better in every respect. with nobody even doubting it's superiority. when dinosaurs died, they were replaced by humans.ok. that wasn't a good example but you know what I mean.
whether its a HUGE upgrade or Meh upgrade is subjective, whether it is worth the price is subjective...My point is its subjective to the user and their use of the system.
first, dinosaurs were not replaced by humans, they were replaced by a plethora of creatures.when dinosaurs died, they were replaced by humans.ok. that wasn't a good example but you know what I mean.
whether its a HUGE upgrade or Meh upgrade is subjective, whether it is worth the price is subjective...
but the FACT it is FASTER in every conceivable measurement scheme is not subjective. You might not think it to be a significant upgrade, you might not be able to notice the difference, but if you say an intel/sandforce/indilinx SSD is slower you are a liar; all you can say is that it being faster is not noticeable to the end user. Which puts you in a very small minority who doesn't notice the benefits.
first, dinosaurs were not replaced by humans, they were replaced by a plethora of creatures.
second, there is no such thing as evolutionary levels.
third, dinosaurs died because of a natural disaster (mega meteor impact).
I do not have a superman complex; for I am God, not superman!
please forgive my trolling.
I'm trying, but its just too obvious.
That is rude, no comment!
