GPU pot> SSD


SSD for benching is all about PC05, and PCV (which I think is still unranked?)

the bot has added a bunch of benchmarks though and not sure which ones are boint worthy.

And dont let the MTBF full you. I thought the same thing. 60GB will have 72TB write life. Which in the context of a 2TB HDD is only 36 complete writes. It actually boils down to almost 200GB of written data a day for 1 year. Or 40GB a day for 5 years regardless of density size. (EDIT: I don't understand that but I dont use SSD for copywaza so SSD would last me a lot longer )

Besides that is what buying new and RMAing is for

Write life is the key though, note that READS do not hurt teh drive. only writes.

I'm still using a 300gb raptor + 40gb ssd for caching and its working like a charm. I don't have the need for a big ssd at the moment. Plus I don't really feel like shelling out big money for a big ssd.

That's how i feel not worth the money

I think best way to do it is 64GB SSD for OS and small apps, then VR or RAID0 blacks for major apps and games.

Right now I have 2 1.5tb in raid 0

I had like 100gb for the OS partition and it got full and idk why lol

Cuz I think it was all the updates and crap from ms

But it was more of a want then I needed a ssd so going to pass I'm a fan of hd space I got 6.5 tb right now

My OS install with all updates, drivers, and small apps is 14GB. A 64GB M4 is ~59GB formated, leaving ~45GB. You dont want to go under half capacity, the performance generally drops after that. Also, if you format the drive to a smaller capacity to begin with, it adds space for garbage collection, and is area of the drive that doesnt get written to on a daily basis, making the drive last longer. So for a 64GB drive, if you formatted it to be 53GB instead of 59GB, you are giving it about another 10% of space. So with 39GB left after OS/updates/drivers, you still have a bit of room for a few things here or there. (the overprovisioning is really only good for Intel/Micron/Samsung drives, not recomended for Sandforce)

I have a 64GB M4 for OS, 160GB VelociRaptor for apps, 450GB VelociRaptor for games, 4x2TB Samsung F4s for movies/shows, and a 1TB black external drive for transfers.
