i was wondering.... do they make 10gb ssd's?

or any lowgb drives (need 5.59gb in space to be exact. so call it 6gigs) that are faster than this

Clicky

smallest i can find is 30gb ssd on the ocuk website, do they even exhist lower?

only really 1game i play.. and 10gb would have it coverd easily. and cant justify spending so much on a 30gb when i wouldnt use half of it.

thanks in advance

On Windows XP I assume? As most benefit comes from having the OS on the SSD and Windows Vista/7 are bigger than 10gb.

Better off buying something else, like Windows 7 to improve your computer happiness :)
 
iirc the only smaller ones available are early versions which aren't much better than mechanical drives, and also don't support the many features with SSDs available now.
 
u sure u only use 10gb ?

windows 7 tends to take up more space than that.

my 40gb ssd is full with just windows 7 and a few programs without any games (on a seperate drive)

althou part of it is taken up by visual studio which uses abit of space.

tbh, the small drives are not really worth it, u can get some small flash drives, but there not as quick as the current ssd's, and they arn't much cheaper either

30/40gb would be your best bet
 
i dont want the ssd for the operating system, just worldofwacraft at 1.12 patch (5.59gb including my choice of addons) but load times are quick. but im thinking they could be better :D was thinking of just a fast memory stick. but im thinking with constant reading it might fry itself. (overheat)?

Click to expand...

So un-worth it it's not even worth thinking about :P

Get some more ram or another drive and run in RAID.
 
You can get those ones they put in netbooks on the popular auction site ;) there around 10gb....but i dont think you can get them new unless your an OEM?
 
As the guy said above for WOW, its deff not worth it! use that £100 on a second graphic card/ram it will make a hell of a lot of diffrence!! Tho with your specs you shouldnt be having any trouble. IS it just the load times your having trouble with then?

Also like the guy said the old smaller SSD's arnt that much better than a normal hard drive :(
 
A 10 gb drive wouldnt be any use for Wow anyway, Did a fresh install yesterday and by the time its updated and everything its taking up 17.9 GB on my ssd, and as Cataclysm patches drop in expect to add another 5 or 6 gig to that, and thats before the expansion hits.
Think the above folder has got all the patch update files in there too but I dont think theres a way of changing where they DL to in the background anyway, so your space would get eaten very quickly, thats if it even fits at all.
The loading times on Wow have increased a lot, but not lightening quick, think the speed it talks to the server effects the speed you get on loading screens too.

the biggest load time in wow is the connection, so improveing the speed of the hard drive it runs off wont make as much a difference really, its still got to wait to connect to the servers before you can start.

also, a bigger ssd that u can install both windows and wow on would prolly have a bigger impact on speed than just having one for wow, as it means your whole os is just that little bit quicker
 
heres my load time in wow

on a samsung f3 500gb

would an SSD really make much difference? it takes a whopping 9 seconds from me clicking login to my character beeing loaded
 
surely thats server connection related? :/

ssd would only change the time for the game to launch/ie, from clicking the icon on desktop to it loading the game.


/wow troll mode

probably not much diff for wow anyway cus its crud.
 
i dont plan on playing retail *cough* but a 1.12 patch server, last patch before burning crusade came out, (2004?) and my cpu / ram is fine for it. neither of them ever hit over 90% load with whatever we threw at it on max settings which made me think that the next limiting factor is the HDD
 
You can get a nice Kingston 30gb for 60 quid. Or get a Patriot one, although I can't vouch for the reliability of those.
