SSD Hard drives
 

How many of you have one in your computer?

I have a 2.5 yr old computer with one but my computer guy for some reason didnt put the operating system on it, so I heard Im probably not getting the full effect of it.

Im going to upgrade computers and going to buy another SSD, really only need a 128GB one. Ive been reading that you can keep archived files and stuff u dont really use very much on the regular HD with no problems. Anything I need to know? These things easy to put in and install by an idiot? (Me)

I have 2. I use one for games, the other for my system. All my video/audio files are still on regular drives.

SSD is simple, easy, and a must have.

I have one in my laptop that my system is on and my laptop is up and running in 10 seconds or less. I have one in my PC that I store my games on and I have another one sitting in a box that I want to put my system on, but I'm being lazy about it and haven't done it yet.

you must have big pockets

SSD was the single best and most noticeable upgrade Ive ever made to my system.

SSDs in all my machines. They're great.

I stick them in servers but not in my PC. I don't really do much gaming these days and when I do they aren't exactly performance demanding ones so it's not a big deal to me.

500 gig SSD as my main OS drive
2 TB Platter for mass storage

Wowwa that musta cost a fortune. Baller.

Nope. They're going for about $250 on Amazon.

I purchased a 1TB Samsung EVO during Amazon's Black Friday sales for $349 but they're back up to $449.

SSD for gaming is a complete waste of money. The only benefit to using SSD for gaming is better load times between maps/scenes/etc. There is non discernible performance difference between gaming on a SSD vs HDD. The GPU/CPU/RAM does all the performance critical work. The hard drive does very little. The way games perform just isn't really that dependent on HD speed.
