Yes they are.  Welcome to the SSD club!  They are the best thing since multiple cores imo.

Meh, I think hard drives are still better.

You're on crack my friend. My EVO is bottlenecked at 140MB/s read and write (HDD was about half of that) and not only do things load quicker, but everything is more responsive.

I'm not on crack. I just like the sound of hard drives. SSDs are boring to listen to. I'd rather have mass storage over speed.

How can you prevent a bottleneck, or how do you know the real speed of an ssd on your rig? I was thinking about buying an ssd, but i wouldn't if i won't use even half of it's read/write speed.

I'd rather have both. And I do.

Well, maybe I could use a 128GB SSD i suppose.

As long as you connect it to a SATA3 (6Gbps) port on the motherboard, any SSD will be able to go all out.  6Gbps = 750MB/s, and most drives are rated at under 600MB/s.

If you were to connect it to a SATA2 port (3Gbps), you'd never see the SSD go beyond 375MB/s.  Still much better than a HDD, which usually tops out at around 100-125MB/s and is further slowed down by spool-up times and the time it takes for the heads to move about.

 

Depending on how compressible the data is, you may get close to the rated speed or not.  That can really differ from file to file, so don't panic if you only see 400MB/s during your tests of your 550MB/s capable SSD.

Also when you're doing everyday stuff in windows the sequential reads/writes aren't nearly as important as the other reads/writes.  You will definitely benefit from the random read/write speed increase over a regular hdd, which makes windows run a lot better.

I can't wait for NVMe to take off. Hurry up, I want to be done with drive bays forever! :angry:

I don't. I want more and more drive bays. MUHAHAHAHA

ShithouseCheap SSD's in Sata1 (150 spec) still outperform Mechanical drives in response time, maybe some Mech's are faster in Sequential than Supercheap Flash, but still not as responsive, plus most people would buy better flash these days or its already available as standard.

 

I have thrown MANY cheap SSD's at P4's and Athlon Dualcores and they all effectively have 'up to' doubled their life span (better PC responsiveness in same situations/applications) in the opinions of the people who own them.

 

SSD's are Amazeballs

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

I got no SSD.

SSDs are fucking awesome. Every build I do(for myself) will include one.
