SSD's-Are they really worth it?
Hi, my system has a pretty good boot up time atm with a normal HDD, ranging from 17 to 20 secs from "starting windows" but i think it's bottlenecking my quadcore, i think i can get more out of my system, start up 15secs all the time and programs like photoshop cs5 to open allmost instant. I have seen all the vids on youtube, the intel x25m g2 mostly, i am aiming to get the 80gb version as they are very expensive and this is what i can afford, and will pay for a hard drive.
Questions:
Because i am only getting an 80gb (normal HDD will be used for data, ssd for os and aps) will it slow down because it will be about 35-40% full when i have put the aps and os on it?
What do i have to do to keep it's speed? i heard of trim? Does this work good and how is your ssd overtime?
Thanks for your advice.
