Incase anyone is confused, "SSDs are a meme" IS the meme. SSDs are an extremely worthwhile upgrade.

>>52206007
I would humor the meme, but I feel dirty and dishonest if I lie. SSDs are fucking great. My laptop boots up in 10 seconds and is ready to use as soon as I log in. Nearly all of my programs start in less than a second.
As funny as the meme is:
SSD's are 1,000 times better. Everything works faster and consumes less power. I would honestly never put my OS on a shitty metal DVD, keep your cheap spinning meme garbage.
>>52206869
So much this. I will admit to shilling SSDs because frankly they're fucking great.
>>52206250
It's 2016 and it's still not your time.
Go home.
>>52206007
>implying a WD Green isn't just as fast as an Intel 750 in real world usage
>caring about 2second faster boot times when you never even turn your system off.
SSDs on the desktop are a meme.
I'll admit some of them use less power and are less prone to damage by fall, so they're probably not a bad idea for laptops and tablets - but when was the last time you dropped your desktop while it was running?

>HDDs are faster than SSDs meme
>>52207390
>Contrarian meme
I got the Kingston 40$ one recently and I notice about a 10% increase in boot up speed and thats probly because I couldn't fit any programs on it
Waste of time and money
>>52207359
Holy fuck you guys are retarded. And SSD has no moving parts. On the contrary an HDD has a metal disk that takes a bit to spin up. This is why it takes fucking forever to load up your OS with an HDD. An SSD is at its full speed right when you boot it up, it fucking destroys HDDs in boot times and program startup time. Yes I know anon, latency is hard to understand (if you are a fucking retard), but the fact of the matter is that SSDs will always be faster than HDDs in every task.
I have 2 512gb SSDs in raid 1, and I honestly could never go back to my 2tb HDD. My HDD takes 30 seconds to boot into windows 8.1, my ssds take about 3 seconds. There is no question that SSDs are way faster than an HDD.
Even my programs are noticeably faster, Firefox takes literally no time at all to start up, my gayms take half as long to load, even loading basic programs such as Windows Command Prompt takes half a second less to load. Stop being a fucking autistic poorfag anon, SSDs make a difference, just ask anyone who has one.
>>52207502
That's cause the Kingston ones have a fucking slow as read/write speeds at low capacities you fucking dumbass.

>>52207546
No you have to buy the highend drive every year or it isn't actually faster.
But they're all faster and you should buy one, if you don't you're just a poorfag who is too autistic to replace his SSD every two years liek a normal person would.
Why do these rotohipsters not just participate in the normal everyday world?

>>52206007
Are M.2 SSDs worth it from a SATA 3/Samsung 850 Pro 256GB?
>>52207856
You can make that decision for yourself
>>52207210
They're also top ace for laptops. No moving parts, less heat.
>>52207502
That's odd, the v300 is the slowest SSD you can buy but it should still be a lot faster than a hdd.
Is it connected to a SATA 3 port? I hope you're not using a third party sata controller, they suck. Also, make sure AHCI is enabled.
>>52207877
That's impressive but you wont really feel a difference unless you constantly read/write large files since it's the access times that are important for a snappy system.
>>52207359
>2second faster boot times
more like 20 seconds.
>>52207921
Although your statement is true, there's been reports from everyone who owns one, and practically every review that it indeed does make a system feel "snappier".
>>52207877
well hot diggity damn, I'll be switching the 256GB 850 Pro in my parts list to a 950 Pro. That's over four times as fast.
>>52207941
Keep in mind, the 256GB model isn't as fast as the 512GB.
>>52206848
>>52207359
>>52207502
>>52207949
Would that be offset if I run two 256GB ones in RAID 0? Yes, I know this will lower the amount of expansion slots I've got.

Fuck you. Take your meme magnetic bullshit elsewhere
>>52207986
I have absolutely no idea, but wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy the 512GB one in the first place?
>>52207877
Are benchmarks really important?
I noticed zero improvement switching from SATA2 to 3 on my 850 even tho it supports SATA3, granted my system was already Bretty snappy
>>52207996
You're right, but I want to buy one now and then get the other one later on.
>>52208012
Depends on your use application.
>>52208019
Evidently you can't put PCIe drives in RAID, chipset limitation. You'd probably be better off just getting the 512GB model.
>>52208060
>Evidently you can't put PCIe drives in RAID
This review seems to prove otherwise: http://rog.asus.com/361862014/rampage-motherboards/m-2-pci-express-ssd-raid-0-performance-on-rampage-v-extreme/
I don't know if Asrock's EXTREME6 can do it, though.
>>52208092
That appears to be regular PCIe, not NVME. I should've clarified.
>>52208116
>>52208092
In any case, I won't be getting any parts until July, so there's some more time to wait for manufacturers to make some RAID controllers or some other solution for NVMe.
An SSD is worthless if your time is worthless
>>52208060
Which use applications benefit from a PCIe SSD?
>>52208146
Loads of things, especially ones where you're constantly putting a read/write load onto the drive.
>>52208163
Like what? (Other than copying files in explorer)
ramdisk > ssd
but i don't have time to tell gaymers winfags this. And yes i have one and i was a meme since i never power off my deskto
>>52206869
Bought myself a 128gb OCZ Vertex 4 SSD because I was extremely poor and it was on sale for $80.
From the moment I press the power button, to the system automatically logging me in, to my startup programs being ready is probably around 10-15 seconds.
I'm very happy with my worthwhile upgrade.

Access time on mine as my OS drive is .02~ (pic related.) My buddy's SSD (I think it is a HyperX, I forgot to check) by comparison six to eight times slower in AS.
>>52207986
It would be, but you are still paying more. Plus, you could eventually just put a second 950 in RAID 0 when the price comes down and be, much, much faster than two 256 versions.
of course ssd is meme
just look at those benchmark pics
they are good for benchmarks
>>52208479
>Access time on mine as my OS drive is .02~ (pic related.) My buddy's SSD (I think it is a HyperX, I forgot to check) by comparison six to eight times slower in AS.
I believe you but once you get under 1ms access time it becomes very hard to tell the difference. Even if an SSD has 10x slower access times than yours it's still only 0.3ms.
Don't get me wrong, you got an amazing drive. For most people on /g/ it's probably overkill though.
>>52208412
Why are you so upset, you faggot?
Honestly I just use a small SSD for my OS because I was tired of suit randomly breaking and requiring a new install.
I multitask far too much to want to use an SSD for most things.
>>52207959
it's not a question of money and being able to afford it.
I was gonna spend 90€ on a 240GB SSD 3 months ago. I didn't bought it for a simple reason : I don't need it. And thinking about it, who needs it ? My computer boot in 15 seconds on a HDD. All my programs are pretty fast to launch. Loading a game ? whatever, I always end waiting for other players to load the game while I have a HDD.
SSD ARE a meme. Ofc, for someone that needs to copy or transfer a lot of data, maybe it's worth it, but It's definitively not the case for most users.
>>52206007
Is there really any reason NOT to get an SSD? They're cheap nowadays and reliable too.
My friend really regrets buying an SSD. Although i'm going to buy one for my OS.
>>52206007
This itself if almost memeic
>>52207210
>shitty metal DVD
>He thinks magnetic and optical are the same
>>52207509
This 'stani speaks the truth, My Windows boot time went from 2 mins + to 15 seconds since getting an SSD.
Those who think SSD is a meme are poor cunts who cannot afford one. It is LITERALLY the best upgrade you can do to your current hardware.
>>52209015
*sigh*
Okay, I'll bite: WHY do you think an SSD is a bad choice for someone who multitasks?
>>52206007
>10 times the price for a quicker bootup
>worthwhile
>>52209286
Because I never actually have to wait on anything to boot or load. I just do other things in the mean time.
>>52209296
you can get a 480gb ssd for 100$.
is this true?
https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale
Bought one like 1 month ago
Its nice and you def. feel a difference, but to be honest I could live without one
144hz on the other hand though...
>>52206848
I said that.
I fact I tell all my friends that samsung are good.
SSDs are the MLP of storage media.
Heavily overrated, have a massive amount of neckbeard fans that happily throw money at that shit, and it also makes otherwise normal people into degenerate fags.
>>52209384
Goddamn you Americans have it good.
The cheapest 480GB SSD at my favourite shop is €139,90 and this is a good price compared to other shops.
>ITT memememememememememememememememememememememememrmemememememememememememememememememememememememememememmememememememrmememe
>>52206007
Yeah, because you can afford either Samsung or Crucial SSD
So I only have my OS and steam-csgo installed on my ssd nothing else. My download folder is set to my HDD. Am i going to make the most out of my ssd this way? Also browsing the internet.
>>52208808
who wouldn't be upset at people not appreciating things for doing what they're designed to do?
are you a woman? because you sound like one.
>>52209540
I get my value just from having FFXIV on mine.
>>52209110
My explorer freezes because it has to wait for the HDD to load all the files it has to display, stop b8ing.
>>52207359
Sure for your neckbeard ass it might not be a worthwhile but some people actually use their desktop for work.
Anything related to picture/video/audio editing is usually massively IO starved so using SSDs makes a massive difference.
>>52210720
/g/ knows nothing about work and that's why they hate SSD's.
they figure why work when you can have 20 TB of FUN?
meanwhile i just spent an hour deleting about a TB of work shit I don't need anymore.
SSDs are nice, but I believe RAM makes a bigger difference, especially on old hardware
my laptop came with ssd, otherwise i couldn't be bothered
>>52210879
you're retarded. as long as you have enough ram you're fine even if it's fucking ddr2.
but i've got a ziplock bag full of ddr you can buy if you really think that.
>>52210958
How much RAM is enough these days? Even 8GB is pushing it
>>52207509
>On the contrary an HDD has a metal disk that takes a bit to spin up. This is why it takes fucking forever to load up your OS with an HDD
i thought that system waits until the hard drive is ready before it even starts to load anything from it, have i been thinking wrong
>>52210958
Just to play double's advocate for a minute... What;s the biggest capacity stick of DDR2 you can get? 1GB?
>>52206007
Anyone legitimately falling for the SSDs are a meme -meme and especially those deliberately shitposting with it need to fuck off from a technology board.
>>52210985
8GB is fine. i'm shitposting with 4 tabs open instead of 40 and i've got 5.7 gigs left out of 8.
just opened up lightroom and photoshop. resized a photo to 20,000x20,000 and copied it into another photo, still have 3.6 GB available.
>>52211022
>double's advocate
it's devil's advocate you double nigger
google says they did make 4GB ddr2 single sticks but the ones i've got are mainly 512 and 1GB, might have some 2GB sticks in there.
really pisses me off having no use for them. I literally have a fucking gallon ziplock bag full of them.
>>52210958
mfw at times even my 32GB is not sufficient and I cant put more in my laptop no matter what
but that's just my line of work
>>52211197
yeah true, but when you know shit like this you don't have to shitpost saying that ram is more important than ssd when you're still running ddr2 lel
>>52211071
>this bait again
>>52206007
I just removed an ssd from my old shifty laptop from 2011
I like my ssd for the OS and important programs (photoshop benefits from a ssd for example ), and use my TB hdd for games and videos etc
>>52207890
this. i would never go back to a spinning drive in a laptop. ssds are faster, use less power and produce less heat.
now i just want to get rid of the fan and have a laptop with zero moving parts. hopefully in a year or two the core-m will catch up in performance a bit and i will be able to buy a new laptop
>>52211438
>2011 SSD
That thing is gonna die
>>52208808
>>52208479
It's still an upgrade though.
Latency is the biggest factor for me, not throughput. Even the shittiest SSD's have enough throughput not to be a bottleneck.
