Spent like $150 on one of these
No difference at all in games
Just a warning to anyone else about to waste money on one of these fucking things
>>334362202
i however did notice a difference.
>>334362202
I noticed a difference. Not so much in games really, but with a lot of stuff. No regrets here, apart frombuying one with such a small capacity
>>334362202
Did you install it?
Did you put your OS on it?
>>334362202
SSD are mostly effective in the general operations of the OS, games are barely affected because you're working off RAM anyways.
At best you'll notice better load times.
>>334362202
Tried turning it off and on?
>>334362202
>buy a ssd
>put only games on it not the os
R u retarded ?
>>334362202
Isnt it only supposed to make bootups faster?
>it's a /v/ talks about hardware thread
>gaymes
It's for your OS and maybe a few games like Battlefield.
>Buy SSD
>Play games without loadscreens
NO DIFFERENCE GUYS, SSD IS A MEME.
I'd correct you OP, but your autism, social anxiety, and depression will make you kill yourself eventually anyways. The problem will solve itself.
>>334362481
Wait what
Fuck off, /g/. You didn't notice a difference because there are no games to load on Gentoo.
>>334363336
Hilarious in-joke LOL
I can see you're really well versed in the culture of several boards
>>334362202
You're supposed to just put the OS on there you dumb nigger
My PC boots up in under 5 seconds. You didn't actually expect to see a huge difference in games, did you?
>>334363418
>You're supposed to just put the OS on there you dumb nigger
And games
And any program where you'd like better performance
Idiot
>>334362202
I have a ssd in my ps3. It mostly halved the loading times.
>Tekken tag 2 was unplayable for me before, now even customizing clothes is torable.
>demons souls loading screens went from 30 seconds to 13-15 seconds
I read that the ps4 won't improve noticeably with a ssd, due to the OS and anti piracy software running in the background
>>334363464
I think you and I have a very different definition of the word performance, especially if talking about games.
5-10 seconds shaved off of load times doesn't mean shit if you don't have the space to put the games on there, and that kinda space costs money.
>>334362202
That's nor what an ssd does. You're looking to reduce load times and boot times. It only affects games with a lot of texture streaming (some mmos, diablo 3).
>>334363490
That's because the disc drive inside the early models is crap and the base HD that came with the PS3 was an outdated 5200rpm model.
>>334363582
>5-10 seconds shaved off of load times doesn't mean shit
Oh I forgot your OS takes up 256GB
Fuck outta here you imbecile
>>334363490
It's because of the SATA II connectors
>trying to play Red Orchestra 2 without an SSD
HOPE YOU LIKE RIFLEMAN.
I mean I do but not every fucking map holyshit. What a godsend when I finally got one. Too bad its only 250gb, I wanna get another one.
>>334363621
Nigger what the fuck are you talking about? The SSD I have is only 128GB you fucking retard. Only about 48GBs of that is actually being used. Where the fuck did you get 256GB from?
Stop talking out of your ass.
>>334363751
So you have 80GB remaining and you're not using for games because what?
>>334363751
Because its his fault you bought a fucking pitifully small SSD when they're cheaper than 40 cents a gigabyte when on sale?
>>334363792
That's a single game nowadays
>>334363751
>128
jej
get 1TB or nothing
>>334363882
So put the game you play most on it. You're just handicapping yourself for no reason at all.
>>334363792
Because 80GB is definitely enough space for all the games and programs I want to store. GTA5 alone is like, what, 60GB?
>>334363839
For my needs, all I need the SSD for is the OS. Spending money on a higher capacity SSD would be a waste of money, and the small benefits are overall not worth it for me.
>>334362202
You're wrong
>>334363601
Yes.
The ps3 actually has SATA 1.5, if that makes any sense.
I have a superslim model, with a loud disc drive and a loud fan. With the ssd the ps3 is in games as quiet as in idle.
Plus the fast loading times. I can recommend it.
Though the data migration may be a hassle for some.
>>334363490
it's basically OS capability/restrictions. Your best best is buying a 2TB 7200 HDD.
>>334363936
So this situation has actually happened to you, possibly multiple times

>>334363645
Rifleman is the best class anyway.
>>334364006
I prefer Elite Assault or SL if I can get SL1; which I usually do since I load in first with my SSD. SL2 can be tolerable sometimes but anything past that is unbearable unless you're stacking with friends.
>>334364000
No one here plays videogames, anon.
>>334362202
>>334363959
I don't have a ps4. I saw it one at a friends house, and heard some noises, when he booted up whatchdogs.
Think you could get a ps4 silent and cool with a ssd?

Yes since SSDs have no moving parts. Too bad you can't install blue LEDs in a PS4

>>334364548
Its not going to make a fucking noticeable difference in the lifespan of your SSD. By the time all the installing/uninstalling begins to take a toll your SSD will be outdated.
>>334364568
WD Blacks are known for being loud ass niggers.
That's what you get when you want performance :^)
>>334362202

There is a huge difference between GTAV on SSD and HDD, but that's the only example I know.
>>334364816
how much does a 2TB ssd cost?
>>334364961
How is that related to performance? >>334364779 This post doesn't mention size.
>>334364816
WD Blacks are for when you want large HDDs to store all your other shit on and you want to pay top dollar but not so much as to break the bank by buying a 1TB SDD that's going to cost you an arm and a leg.
In the early days ssds were absolute rubbish with piss poor longevity and tons of other issues and some still have them. (sandforce)
Thank good my Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256GB has 10 years limited warranty otherwise I would have never bought one.
>>334365009
You're not even going to run it down in 10 years.

>>334365105
I wouldn't be so sure... I'm not an average user. I write A LOT more than read in terms of disk usage.
>>334362202
You won't feel any difference apart from loads dumbfuck
>>334365583
For the most part yeah but some games truly did run better for me on an SSD. I'm not too literate on that shit but maybe some shit to do with texture streaming?
I know when I installed Archeage (shit game) on an SSD the difference was fucking phenomenal. Game stuttered more than a retarded kid with a head injury beforehand on my HDD.
>>334365583
So you won't feel a difference apart from the difference you feel.
>>334362202
Buy a 120GB SSD.
Install your OS and any open-world games.
Worth it.
It serves the same function as a hard drive, but with much faster read/write speeds, lower power consumption and a longer life span.
If you expected anything else, you didn't get tricked or memed, you're just retarded.
The only effect it will have on games is load times.
Just put an Intel 535 in my 2nd laptop. It made my previous laptop infinitely better and it definitely let my current one run the way it was meant to. They work wonders on laptops no matter what, which has made me come to the conclusion that almost every laptop is shit without one.
As for my desktop, it didn't make too much of a difference aside from boot and load times to a small extent. Still, they're very well worth it, more-so if you're wanting to cram it into a laptop.

>All your data is gone and/or corrupted
It makes a large difference in games that have to load a lot of loose files.
I can start my computer up and be browsing the web in less than 20 seconds.
Games like KSP start instantly instead of waiting for minutes for the files to load.
Fallout 4 with a few mods, I can be in the game in under 30 seconds.
It's a large difference in terms of loading time. In terms of FPS? It eliminates stutter when transitioning through areas.
You don't really buy an SSD for FPS though.
>>334363156

>>334368743
That feeling the first time you boot up Windows on an SSD. It's the best feeling I've had in a while.
Now I can turn off my computer without having to wait forever for it to boot back on. It's almost like it's just in sleep mode.
It's useful for games with few to no loading screens like gta 5, dark souls games, etc.
I have a 1tb hd and sometimes the game starts loading an area in ds3 and the frames drop a fuck ton while everything is being slowly loaded.

The fuck do you install?
I got a 500gb Samsung 850 Pro for like 180 dollaroos.
Before I would have Word take forever to open and lots of pop-in in Arma 3, now it's instant on both ends.
Loads times didn't improve much though, I had under 5 sec on both this pc and my i3 laptop that I got for like 300 bucks w/out the need for an SSD
>>334362202
got another one /v/!
>>334364093

Ah this thread is the funniest I read this week. I thought OP was baiting..... my sides will be in orbit for days.

Nigger that is still not 60gb
>>334370746
I wish i was home to know what im missing. but the System image is about 80-90gb.
Still proves that you can install a windows on a 128ssd, with no problems.
when i had Xp. i used to let only 50gb for C:
>>334370928
The Windows folder? You should probably check the Users one, you can have a lot of stuff you forget in the documents and whatnot
>>334362202
Buy a relatively small one to run your OS on. Buy another huge one and store your games on it. Also, go SATA III if your mother board can support it
>>334371068
No. I redirect the Documents foldier and the download foldier ouside the c:
By system image i mean an actual "iso" of the C: wich i use for recovery.
Cant remember.

Thinkpads dont have this problem.

I don't regret buying my 128GB SSD. I only use it for OS and selected software. It boots insanely fast
The only regret i have about my SSD is that i didn't bought a bigger one for $15 more.
How many of you put it in the PCie slot?
>>334374169
Pointless, it would make more sense plug it in a SATAe slot.
