    SSD Vs HDD

    Corsair GT -Vs- WD Caviar Black
    the only change between runs was the hard drive(I suppose there may be a few programs difference too)
    using--
    Benchtown.com (something to do with Auslogics I believe)

    SSD=1917
    HDD=1413

    so, whats that, around 25%?


    and its on its way back to Taiwan--

    You can lose your data without notice on an SSD. I had it happen tonight, not mine thank goodness.

    A few years back I replaced the HDD in my Macbook Pro with an OWC SSD and never looked back. I'm never owning a laptop without one again! I haven't done an official benchmark test, but the speed improvement - particularly with larger apps like MS Office, Audio processing, etc - it was fantastic and worth every penny.

    I bought mine from here and would definitely recommend them.

    Performance Upgrades; FireWire USB SATA Storage; Memory, more at OWC

    As U know I tried that with two WD Blacks,,
    until one died suddenly
    see ^^^


    I am more than happy to continue with the SDD,, The odds are against me having another failure,, and NO important data was lost anyway,,


    its amazing just how noisy HDD's are,,

    Waste of time on a desktop, he's not building a server..lol and the speeds on a good quality SSD are more than adequate. Price wise also not viable

    As for the Intel SSD...simple, they are the best but are also a tad dear

    Their all the same to "plug in", as for most reliable from my experience yes they are great. When it comes to fastest, that opens up a whole new can of worms, many factors to consider. An SSD will still kick the butt of any HDD plus the speed difference from fastest SSD to slowest SSD is a poofteenth so its not really an issue.
