I do quite a bit of video editing/converting and the speed increase is very welcomed. Also..check out this
Hey tweak,
Tis a good write-up. A few comments
What do you mean by higher data density? You can get higher density in a 2.5" HDD than a 2.5" SSD. You have a con that says lower capacity - they seem to contradict.
Increased application launching - do you mean decreased time to launch an application?
I don't know, HDD are pretty reliable. Do you still think SSD have increased reliability? It is only this month that a SSD manufacturer has given a 5 year warranty on their product. Tha has been the norm for while with HDD.
Cheers
As far as durability goes, xtremesystems did a test with several brands of SSds to see howm many writes they could do before death. I was quite surprised. The first one to die had 525TB written to it. It's a long thread but very intresting. This is one of the charts they had long before the end.
Conversion base : 1 TB = 0.90949470177293 TiB
Conversion base : 1 TiB = 1.099511627776 TB
I'm still amazed that people are still scared to use their SSD for fear they'll wear it out.
im not scared! i shoved a corsair force 3 120gb in my gaming pc as my primary boot drive, and had BF3, red orchestra 2 and Skyrim installed on it.
I have about 60gb remaining, but am considering getting a second. As my only other drive in my pc is an aging sata 2 250gb (i say aging.. its never been used, its just old spec'd)
I think the only time ill use a mechanical drive again is for my home server, where obviously large sized drives are needed.
