This was ALWAYS the case, remember? :scratch:

For those who weren't around, 1Tb hard drives were phenomenally expensive when they first came out.

The same with SSD's.

For those who bought now - congrats, your purchase/s have contributed to the R&D for this to be lower price :twisted: (Thanks Extol! :P)

Transfer rate on an SSD is not in the SAME BALLPARK as a mechanical hard drive today. You would be faster with 10k RPM hard drives but not as close.

I've heard reports of Win 7 ultimate booting in 6 seconds from the time the pc is turned on :shock: You would be lucky to get 15 secs or more with a mechanical hard drive.

And that's the other thing - hard drives are mechanical, SSD's aren't. So no more disk spindle motors failing, platters going defective, etc... it will just be another piece of electronic hardware.

As always with new technology, NEVER buy first generation and check the specs and performance from others before buying yourself :wink:




so ..could u recommend...say ... 4 sata 1.5 terra ( at 100 quid each)..... over 4 ssd's maybe 256 gig @ 500 quid.......
im thinking ssd..then hd.....
mechanical..non mechanical........ is it worth the upgrade...

i would like a few i/o details on read/write comparability..............
is raid 10 (hd's) ..could it compete with 4 ssd's in raid 10?


price over performance.... 400 quid > 2k plus?
