When are they going to figure out how to stop computers from crashing so that the hard drive becomes worthless to the average person. It just means we lose more data.
The suitcase modem was indeed a coupler.
Wish I still had it, just for laughs...
Yep. I bought a 4 drive synology NAS a couple years ago. Recently added two 4G drives, mirrored, to supplement the mirrored 2G drives already in it. It is a nice setup.
Well, I always wait at least a year before trying a new OS so that the mfr. can get the ‘bugs’ out of the OS. I milked XP as long as I possibly could. I do the same thing with new hardware so that I shall wait awhile longer before trying SSD. ;-)
Which brand of SSD would you recommend?
Windows 8 isn’t the bugs. It is actually quite smooth. It is the presentation. Just don’t like this “tablet” presentation for a desktop operating system. Too big, I guess.
I only have the one SSD, think it is Samsung. It is fast.
Right after you install/reinstall Windows, you have this perception that Windows is really fast. Well, I have been running this for a couple of months, I think. Still zippy. HDD don’t compare. Can’t compare.
Well, I do know that Samsung makes other, good products. Thank you for the response. ;-)
They do a lot optimization to avoid writes, let alone "constant" writes, (and to load balance writes so the drives age evenly) and it's pre not post-process processing. And the drives are replaced under maintenance anyway.
