One of the best components in my PC from 3 years ago.

For my next HTPC build I'm going full SSD fuck the noisy, slow, problematic HDD's

+ my Samsung pro from 3 years ago works like in the first day... an evo 850 costs less and stores more and also works much better + they hardly ever break and when they do .. hey years of warranty.

I install os and software on it - I also keep small cache on it.

Big cache for software like adobe suite I keep on a hard disk - but with modern SSD's I would keep everything on them.

A friend of mine who has an 4 year old Samsung SSD has 100 tb written on it from adobe suite and has literally no problem with it.

Rule of thumb is usually get an Samsung.

What if I want maximum lifespan?

If I only put my Gnu/Linux installation on it wouldn't the estimated lifespan be like 10+ years?

I thought SSDs had an almost certain failtime also?
>>
>>54305687
It doesn't take taking that tip from /g/ to know it's retarded.

Visual data is read from hard disk on loading screen - loaded on video card memory then showed from there..
The boost is small anyway for small things.

Maybe obviously faster loading screens but what else... not much.

an 250 gb is enough if you're a non gamer for everything.
>>
>>54305698
The SSD smart data will give you estimated lifespan left. I've been using a 160 GB SSD since my old 2012 PC and it's down to 98%.

Do a Disk Cleanup and delete all the Windows Updates that are sitting there in case you want to undo them.
>>
>>54305792
I did that, said it could remove 2GB worth of old files, but it removed nothing somehow

Disk Cleanup is terrible, you're better off using treesize and cleaning yourself.
>>
>>54305687
Storage access has nothing to do with FPS. If you want higher FPS upgrade CPU and GPU.
What did change that you probably didn't pay attention to was load times. Try using a hard drive after using an SSD with games that have noticeable load times, you'll drive yourself nuts trying to downgrade.

They aren't bad depending on what you use them for. I have one with Win7 and 8.1 loaded on it and then have games on the SSD (laptop).

Will it really help that much?

My Arch Linux install is snappy as fuck works flawlessly. I'm really skeptical of how much performance gain I'd make. I don't think it'd even be noticeable to the human eye.

SSDs don't make as much difference on Linux when you've got enough ram. Linux caches disk reads/writes to ram so they're already very fast.
>>
>>54306505
Thought so.

I only got 4gb of ram but my shit is snappy and works fucking perfectly

I don't see how an SSD would help me tbqh.
>>
>>54306807
Yup, you're already so superior with your master race linux over there that an SSD would be pointless for you. Enjoy being such a savvy fellow, friendo.
