am i the only one who can't control himself when he sees an SSD at a good price?

i feel like everything needs an SSD upgrade: i already have 2 in my desktop, but i also want one for my laptop, and one for my laptop at work, and my sister's computer, and maybe my father's

i already managed to make my grandfather buy an SSD for his pc, and i just bought one for my boss' father

I feel the exact same way! I just want to give everyone Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD's but just the SSD usually costs more than their whole computer :P

I'm considering putting an SSD in my PS3. Primarily because the thing is an oven and I feel like the HDD will just up and die soon because of it.

The quickly evolving tech thing has caught me on ssds.

I'd like one, and a 120gb one is well within my budget, but seeing that 256gb ones cost as much as the 120gb ones cost when I built my current PC I don't feel like getting a 120gb one.

Life is so difficult ain't it.

The occasional post still pops up asking the worth of SSDs. I've seen users claim they're a complete waste of money.

I love SSD's too. . . :wub:

I even have one in my 60GB (now 240GB) PS3, it has made it quite quiet now. :ph34r:

I can't wait till 1TB SSD's become somewhat cheaper. :)

 

Although, I should pick up a 2-4TB HDD for mass storage (hopefully in the future) :mellow:

No more moving parts, significantly less heat output than HDD's, close to an order of magnitude faster, whats not to like?

 

Once 2-4TB SSD's come down to less than $400 I will stop using HDD's completely.

Just installed one in my dad's PC last night. 4 year old budget desktop brought right back to life. It would be even faster if the board had SATA 3 and if i was a fresh install.

Just saying for those who don't know, but an order of magnitude is from 10^X to 10^(X+1).

Most HDD's can do 50-70 MB/s. Most SSDs can do 450-550 MB/s. So basicaly an order of magnitude bigger (aka 10x bigger). 

Samsung just released an SSD with 3D NAND in it. The 1TB version is $700. .... Soon...
