ITT: Meme technology
Pic related, what a waste of fucking money.
>>54107976
I totally agree.
This piece of shit only improved my boot times, made my programs and games load much faster, and generally improved the responsiveness of my PC.
Can't believe I paid $140 for this shit.

What's the problem with SDDs?

same, feel fucking scammed man

>>54107976
There are 2 tb SSDs that are smaller than phones used to be. What the fuck. I'm sure there is crazier tech to be exited about, but holy shit how far we've come in a decade. And it's only gonna get crazier unless we nuke ourselves back to medieval times.
people who call basic tech under 200$ a waste of money, are poorfags

Wut? Why would you make that?

Why are SSDtards so easily baited?
These threads are almost bi-daily and still ten of you faggots rushed in to defend some trivial purchase that nobody actually gives a shit about.
Did you only buy SSDs in an effort to gain the affection of fellow virginal subhumans in your favorite show-and-tell gamer blog generals or something?
Hybrid disks. Now THOSE are a meme

>>54108394
Nothing wrong with them, really, just overrated. I generally spend the money on more RAM instead, to get more block cache.
I have a 512GB NVMe SSD with room on my motherboard for a second one. Will I notice an increase in performance if I put another one in RAID 0?

>>54110207
What speeds are each slot? I was considering doing this on my rig but one of my m.2 slots is pci-e 4x and one is only 2x so idk if it would be worth it or not
>>54110207
Nope.
You're going to have a hard time noticing a boost, when jumping from a good SATA SSD to an NVMe drive.
Putting two of those fuckers in RAID and you'll only get faster file transfer speeds, which are pretty much irrelevant on that level, because you're not going to be moving TBs worth of data to another drive that's capable of making use of those speeds.
If we were talking about huge backups that you make often to an external NVMe drive, then sure.
Then you'd benefit from a speed boost like that.
>>54110231

Then why did you make this thread? You're not making any sense, anon.
>>54107976
>>54108036
This. Imagine how I felt when I put in a Samsung SSD in my old laptop.
>>54110160
lol SSD windows boots in 20 seconds HDD linux boots in 60.
>>54111282
Either systemd was running a startup job that took 60 seconds or you're lying. Even on my oldest, slowest computer (AMD Sempron 3100+ and 5400 RPM 250GB HDD) it boots up in 22 seconds.
>>54109214
These threads don't make sense. SSDs aren't expensive anymore and make a huge use, not only in gaming.
I actually still have HDDs for my data hoarding.
>>54111282
>mfw xubuntu 15.10 boots in about 8 seconds on my t420 with Msata
>>54110160
Can you say sour grapes? I just clone and HDD to SSD for my friend. His boot time went from 5 minutes of I/O chugging because of startup programs he uses to less than a minute to reach idle. A couple months ago I gave my mom a fairly old computer, feeling really damn sluggish at the time, and the only upgrade it needed was a 90GB SSD that I got for free.
>>54109261
yeah hybrids were pretty bad, but fortunately the meme has passed. For servers SSD caching is handy but few people want to put in the work for desktops.
The only two justifications for SSD's I've seen are
>muh boot times
and
>muh programs open faster
Which doesn't make any sense, because you fags hopefully aren't rebooting multiple times a day or opening and closing office all day.
>>54111356
For reference, my main PC which has an HDD boots in 12 seconds not including time spent in firmware, which is mostly rEFInd's timeout.
>>54111460
You're not going to get an argument out of me that it decreases startup times. There are hard numbers to support that. But how many times a day do you reboot? I haven't rebooted in 4 days and I feel like I reboot more than average. File reading and writing speeds are better, but unless you're working with huge files incredibly frequently, the benefits are hardly worth an quarter of the storage for the same price.
>>54111520
do you really not use anything I/O intensive? IntelliJ IDE uses a bunch of IO for autocomplete, all games load faster, Steam is kinda shitty and loads a little better, browsers open faster. You sound like you haven't used an SSD at all because you say "the only two" like those aren't huge benefits. Use one. You'll see.
>>54111520
The price of an 1 tb hd is the same of an 250 gb samsung ssd.
Why in the world would I go with the 1tb in this case?
I'm barely a hoarder - my 1 tb hard disk had at most when I used to hoard useless shit 550 gb used, after cleaning I've discovered that I never hoard more than 300 - 200 gb and again so much useless shit I never bother to check, I could just keep all this in free cloud service.
250 gb is more than enough.
>>54111565
I've actually used an SSD on this computer for a while and eventually switched out to my old 5400 travelstar. I'm not denying it's faster but it's not some computer godsend unless you're too incompetent to keep your HDD defragged. I've only seen a difference with booting and opening/closing huge programs and some other minor stuff you said like intellisense.
>>54111562
I have a laptop so I almost never reboot unless I need to update. My derp ass friend would NEVER reboot because startup was so disgustingly slow that he'd always have Windows out of date and he'd leave his gaymen power sucker running all the time (a driver bug was preventing sleep from working). Now he can shut down normally at night.
>unless you're working with huge files incredibly frequently
every game map ever
>>54107976
My step dad was amazed when the ssd cam out. He immediately went out and replaced all of his HDDs with them.
A month later they all failed and took his data with them.
>>54111645
>games
Ah, I didn't realize you had gotten lost. Here, allow me to gently direct you back to your containment board:
>>>/v/
On a serious note, if your friend is having driver issues preventing him from sleeping, perhaps the easier solution would be to actually fix the problem instead of working around it by dropping $90 so that rebooting is less painful.
May as well use this thread to ask.
How's mushkin as a brand? I'm thinking of picking this up and using it as a game drive because it's cheap as hell.
>>54111781
You get what you pay for.
Don't be surprised if and when it suddenly fails.
Consider RAM disking instead.
>>54111781
Mushkin, really? I bet you liked Maxtor hard drives too.
>>54111781
I bought a Mushkin SSD about 3 years ago and haven't had any problems with it. All of these SSD use the same controllers and the rest is just bog-standard memory chips.
If you buy the ver cheapest stuff you'll probably have issues, but there's no reason to overpay for something as straightforward as an SSD
SSD is pretty designated
we use as toilet paper in india becoz kingston company dump alot of ssd in backyrd

>My single drive in my single use case means something about reliability.
All of 'these SSD' don't actually use the same controllers.
>>54111886
If you care about reliability, the obvious choices are Intel and Samsung. They're not even particularly expensive.
>>54107976
Installed an m2 ssd to my laptop, then did a clean windows install. Now it reboots so fast that USB tethering is doesn't get interrupted. Files open without delays. Now that's speed. My only complaint is write speeds degrade quite fast for bigger files.
I thought OP was talking about the UATA connection...
>>54111760
We tried, it was PITA. I actually got that SSD for free as well so it's good to go. Work benefits. The old HDD went to a different slot for storage space. Besides, 120GB SSDs are not even $50, 240s are under $80. It's worth the price to me
>>54111148

shock proofing, lower power consumption and a slight speed boost in older systems you retard?
