Posted February 8, 2016 I want a new SSD so I can finally replace my wonky 5-year-old 120 gig boot drive. SSDs bring a HUGE improvement to speed and they're overall awesome.

Posted February 8, 2016 My laptop currently has a 500gb 5400rpm hard drive that I am positive is making it unable to run windows. Well not positive, but kinda sure. Winning this would just confirm or deny and help me out a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 8, 2016 A PC is an electronic device, not an electromechanic one, IMHO. The more we can get rid of mechanical parts the better: Less noise, less maintainance, less points of failure. Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 8, 2016 I can remember a time when every computer ran off a PATA Hard Drive, the boot times were slow, and the PCs were slower. Now the world has changed, changed for the better. Now with super fast SSDs we don't have to worry about 5 minute boot times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 8, 2016 Honestly, a Solid State Drive is a MUST for modern computers... It just so happens that one of those would go perfectly in a small form factor computer I'm getting parts for! ¢υѕтσм ℓσσρ σя ησтнιηg αт αℓℓ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 8, 2016 Would be great upgrade from 5200rpm hhd in my daily driver (Laptop). Everyone should moved to SSD as OS/APP storage as it getting cheaper and once you experience the speed you will never leave like a addiction. Magical Pineapples
