Hmmm I been thinking idk if I want a ssd anymore don't think such a small drive would last long before it gets full.... might just wait and see

I do want a gpu pot lol

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.

[DOM]

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.

[DOM]

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

OMG! DOM YOU ARE LIKE THOSE TEENAGE GIRLS!!!
you think you want one thing then 2 min after that you change your mind

the 60GB rule was for SATA2 when larger drives used different NAND chips that were less resilient.

Now the difference between a 60 and a 120 or even a 240GB drive is usually performance related. Only sometimes will a mnaufacturer use different NAND modules in different desnity SSDs.

Intel/Micron stuff (they actually have a joint venture and still use micron model numbers on all their parts,, and called me an insider because I asked questions I was not supposed too so no more testing Intel SSDs I guess) is great for desktop OS NOT for benching.

For benching its all about sandforce. Definitely go SF2200 even if you are sata-2 limited.

Because on small file sizes, you will hit the limitations much sooner on SATA2 then with a dedicated SATA2 drive.

(Sound backwards, but it makes sense, you are going to maximize the interface sooner with a SATA3 drive)

Vertex3 is among teh best of the drives you can get. However in a pinch the agility 3 will get you to 90% of that performance benching and in general desktop you will not be able to tell.

Sorry been away guys trying to take care of stuff before the holidays as I am moving after them

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.
