[QUOTE=GameDev;41954009]they failed to mention that a 1TB 840 EVO is 700 USD[/QUOTE] Heh, the 500 gig one is over 500€ here, which is around 670 USD. I didn't even find the 1TB version, I guess it would cost more than a decent desktop PC.
While SSD's are way faster than regular HDDs, they're also magnitudes more expensive per GiB, and have a much shorter life span. Personally, I'll stick to fast and optimized software on an HDD to provide me with the same performance as running Windows on an SSD.
[QUOTE=Binladen34;41953610]SSDs are amazing, until for some reason your page file eats the entire goddamn thing. For some unexplainable reason my computer told me the drive was full, and I couldn't figure out why. Ended up running WinDirStat, and learned that my page file somehow managed to make itself 68gb.[/QUOTE] This is why you have to use a hdd with a ssd. The pagefile thing was automatically assigned to my hdd.

SSD is great for system and software alone for a lot of reasons, as well as sticking on page file (despite what some people think) and scratch disks for shit like photoshop or premiere. They're also great for general desktop file operations (your general documents that aren't huge files). The lifespan and "don't run your pagefile" arguments are from the very first generations; my understanding is that anything recent will run fine for 3-4 years regardless of what you do. Most operating systems (including Windows 7) automatically use TRIM too. There are also a lot of files that just don't need that rate of transfer, like most games, music, videos etc [editline]25th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=J!NX;41957517]the asian dude looks like he had fake glasses for some reason also "after a month of owning my computer I have to format it" what the fuck? yeah its called running defrag once a week, and not downloading everything you see lol owning any samsung isn't magically going to fix your stupidity Mr. "I want to look smarter so I put on glasses that have no lens" its the same as any other SSD[/QUOTE] Defrag only does so much; I have around 10 TB of regular harddisks that I never defrag and they never have performance issues. The performance issues on laptops come down to two things: Laptops in the year 2013 that come with 4GB of RAM ([B]Apple has a $1799 MacBook Pro that comes with 4 GB of RAM right now[/B]) A lot of hard disks on laptops are also shit (5400 RPM); I'm sure being that they are smaller they also run slower than most regular size hard disks. Running a laptop is like running a console, its a compromise. It can't really compete with a desktop computer in most circumstances. On a regular computer if you have issues with speed, you can just pop in a few more 2TB drives and start splitting up what you do by drives (this way your torrents are all reading off a different drive from where your game is loading from where the pagefile and from where your music plays from). Laptops are pretty much the issue in all of this. Even 2-3 years ago when multicore computers became common I could literally use a computer that I have as a doorstop that would work faster than most laptops. So yeah, your average persons laptop that might cost $1000-1500 will come with 6-8GB of RAM nowadays which isn't enough for quite a few things; on any laptop without an SSD, as soon as the pagefile starts getting used to any degree, the system will usually completely lag for a while.
I'm digging those Japanese ish "one up" sounds.

Wait you can just install everything onto an SSD without losing your windows install/etc? I was under the impression that if you were to upgrade to an SSD you pretty much have to reinstall (assuming you wanted windows on there).
I'm glad these actors weren't in a room together. It can lead to... disastrous results. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cX4t5-YpHQ[/media]

It's best to reinstall if you're just moving windows and nothing else.
