My CNT Teacher showed us this and had us write a paper on it, pretty amazing, too bad they're unreliable.

And costs a whole lot to replace them when they bust.
That was amazing
Awesome, but so expensive too. These drives peak my interest though.
I came
They have Left4Dead installed on it. You can see it on the defrag. Crysis too, the Half Life episodes as well.

You can see he has steam games on there.
Crysis didn't run as well as I was expecting.
Late. Was posted in the PC forums ages ago.
On the other hand, it is pretty amazing,
Amazing. These kind of videos made me buy a SSD (OCZ Vertex 2) and I'm kind of glad I did it.
Damn, I need one of these.
:monocle: Jeez that's fast.
That was amazing!
Wait, who defrags SSDs. It's more damaging than anything. It will reduce the lifespan of the drives.

Do you have any sources for this? I've never heard this mentioned before
Dat speed :swoon:

Yeah I don't think it really benefits an SSD, it only reduces the life since they have a certain amount of cycles before they die.

It was a demonstration in the movie.

You only can write a limited time to the Flash-Cells (10,000 to MLC 100,000 to SLC in general but differs from manufactor to manufactor).
When you defrag, you read the data and write it to another location (one write-step wasted). But since you only can write blocks of data to a SSD (around 512 KB on my SSD for example), this can lead to several write operations to the same data-block if you have multiple files spanned over that block.
In short: Every write action to SSDs decreases their lifetime, while reading doesn't do it. Also a "highly fragmented SSD" is quite as fast as a defragmented one. So: Do not defrag.
I would really like having that, even though I don't actually need it.

I've had two SSDs in my life. One broke, and I sent it in for a free replacement. They are extremely reliable.

The general idea of "Every write operation decreases the life time" is worrying.

As long as you ain't using it to store very personal or important files they are fine.
They make really good OS drives from what I've heard but it kinda contradict its self there.
