Hi guys.
Interested in explorering the market for an SSD.
However I see that they are still quite expensive.
My pc in my sig, more than fine for a good 12-18 months of gaming.
However, my hard drive is the slowest component in the system.
It sounds like my cpu is too fast for the drive. I say this as I can hear a lot of disk thrashing, when the cpu is requesting data from the drive.
I think all my components are above 7 in the Windows 7 computer index thingy, but my hdd only get 5.4!
Its a regular Western Digital 500Gb 7200rpm hdd.
I think Im looking for the best performing yet not stinkingly expensive ssd.
Maybe around 100Gb....
On my brief look at whats available I'v noticed there are 3 kinds of ssd interface: SATA, SAS and PCIE. On top of these different drive have say faster reads, but slow writes, faster writes, slower reads etc etc etc...
I trust that some of you are using ssd's so you would know what to recommend.
As an alternative is the performance in the video here to be belived with the performance ofthe hybrid Momentus ?
