Do you keep any files on your SSD, or just your OS?
>>
>>53436337
no, I keep files on my RAID 1
>>
>>53436337
OS and common used software
>>
OS, software, working files
The only reason I don't use it for other files is because I have a larger HDD for media storage. It's not a bad use, as SSDs aren't prone to failure like some people seem to think they are.
>>
OS, common programs, some games

would like to completely replace my hdds with ssds eventually
>>
My entire storage is SSD you plebian
>>
Anyone has a sandisk ssd plus?
Im looking for the cheapest possible to replace a old HDD on a secondary computer.
>>
OS, small files, any program that isn't a game.
>>
>>53436407
I keep only my OS and games on ssd, unlike that guy I had 2 ssds fail on me within 2 years so I no longer put any personal files on there.
>>
>>53436337
3 ssds. 120gb as boot. 250gb as program drive. 500gb as game install drive. 2x 1TB mech disks in RAID 0 for work space. All major storage such as movie, music, misc files are on a 4TB drive in my file aerver shared over the network to password users only. That 4TB is backed up incrementally to another 4TB.
>>
>>53436472
250gb would be a faster boot

Why would I have a storage drive if not to keep files on it?
>>
I keep all my files on an 850 Pro 512GB.
HDD's are pleb-tier.

I have one.
First one I received was defective so I had to ask for a new one. Don't have 100% faith in it.

>>53436440

got one from best buy, it's fine.

best buy had PNY brand 240 GB drives for $60 last week so i bought one for my other pc.

i've got intel and adata, both are fine. you can catch the adata 480GB drives on newegg on sale.


ssd prices are just not coming down enough to justify anything larger than 480GB tier imo.
>>
>>53436731
>PNY
Bad purchase.
>>
>>53436714
I don't have the image saved, but someone had like 256GB RAM slapped together on a special separate board running RAID 0.
>>
>>53436654
Raid 0 on SSDs are completely useless except with large consequential read.

Why would they need to do that?
>>
>>53436500
Yea I know but the 120gb is my first ssd and I'm loath to let it go. Samsung 840 (non pro) with almost 4 TB written to it. Windows 7 boots in under 12 seconds to the desktop. Everything is speedy and responsive. I cant justify Not using it.
>>
>>53436745

that's bullshit, pny makes fine products.
>>
>>53436816
If you needed amazing disk latency.
>>
>>53436440
I do, 128gb in an old thinkpad.
It's not that fast but every computer will become immediately fast enough, my main desktop with its 7200rpm WD blue looks so slow now.
