>there are people on this board RIGHT NOW who think SSDs are a meme
An SSD is literally the most cost-effective computer upgrade you can buy.
>b-b-b-but i never reboot my computer!!!
>why do you need fast startups for???
Having a beefy CPU and maxed out RAM slots doesn't mean shit when your spinning rust drive is still being thrashed every time you do anything.
my gf ruri is so cute
Literally nobody think SSD are meme
We're not in 2014 anymore.
It's supposed to go 4, 3.8, 3.6. They actually delivered 3.5.
I don't think anyone here is still using a system HDD. Personally I have to say I upgraded very late. Switching to SSD was a difference of day and night. Not good with custom boots though so I still have to watch the stupid Windows logo for several seconds whenever I turn on the computer.
tfw the mods love ssds and windows 10
Finally ordered an 3.5" tray adapter for my Samsung EVO to cover the few months between my upgrade from my aging 2013 system. Been shelved for a few months because the case is some old Full-ATX shit from Sentey that doesn't have SSD trays.
It's still SATA but it's a start.
>not loading OS into RAM at startup for optimal performance
>but SSD is just as fast!!!
SSDlets triggered.
Having HDD as a bottleneck is redpilled. Having a super fast computer is a meme, using a SSD makes the computer too fast, even old computers becomes too fast.
>using a SSD makes the computer too fast, even old computers becomes too fast.
hahaha
>tfw you get an SSD and your pirated movies suddenly play at 254.3 fps
Nobody needs that... anything more than 24 fps is excessive. You SSD freaks disgust me, it's a fucking meme to have so many fps.
>Put SSD in Packard Bell tower with IDE adapter
>Windows Maze at 1100 FPS
its not like our eyes could see it anyway
with the amount of time it takes our neurons to register changes in light, real life's fps is a little under 60.
My problem with SSDs is that they're even necessary in the first place for quick start-ups.
Look at something like Haiku or Icaros: even on shitty old IDEs they start as fast as Linux or Windows on an SSD.
I have ssd's, and I don't really feel much of a difference from using hdds. I know that ssds are faster, but maybe there really is something to ssds being ameme. Also my ssds neve last as long as my hdds.
i work with people who forced our company to invest significant resources in spinning disks for desktops because most people are, in fact, dumb.
>parts of his computer actually have to MOVE to work
How do you cool your CPU?
passive liquid cooling with a big radiator
>liquid cooling
>not moving
the liquid isn't part of my computer
nice try though
SSDs haven't been an upgrade for the past few years.
They're a necessity.
You know oil is also a liquid.
electricity is a moving part too
I need to move the entire contents of my system HDD to an SSD in a few weeks. Is there a way to do this without needing to do a new Win7 Install?
i do.
i own one, and its literally not noticable. what a waste of money.
i'm buying spinning rust next time, way cheaper.
That's just odd.
I remember when I got my first SSD back in 2013 or something around that time. It's probably the single biggest upgrade I've done this decade. Programs just start a whole lot faster and it was absolutely something I immediately noticed. Going from the FM2 A8-7600 to a Ryzen 5 1600X was basically meh in comparison, some things like video rendering became faster but it was pretty much the same deal. Upgrading from Radeon 7850 to RX 470 made some GPU specific things faster but it was also a meh for overall performance. Going from a HDD to a SSD really was something that gave me a wow this is so much faster. I'll never go back.
delet rn
ssd as my main os boots faster. games load slower off of my external mechanical drive as well. gtav is a notoriously slow loading game but is helped with an ssd.
SSD for OS and needed programs
Mechanical HD for storage and lower priority programs.
This is the perfect combo. At least with mechanical HDs you have a chance to retrieve your data just encase something fails (unless you totally trash it and the disk inside breaks). With and SSD if it fails, your data is gone for good.
post more kuroneko pls
My gf, Ruri, is so cute.
I have one, and it makes some difference, but for me it never seemed anywhere near the night-and-day change that some anons are talking about. Either on 7 or on Linux. I do rather wish I could have all-flash storage for noise reasons, but that ain't gonna be happening until the price per terabyte drops by a factor of ten, which I'm not expecting any time soon.
Having a low amount of RAM, a 5400rpm drive and a very weak processor will make you really feel the difference.
Not gonna lie, I'm using an HDD in my laptop because I'm a poorfag. But in a desktop computer that always sits still, where the possibility of HDD destroying sudden movement is basically non-existent, while also being the type of machine that needs a ton of space, I'm still not sold on SSDs being much more than a luxury.
This.
I got the OS and all the programs I ever use loaded on RAM disk and the only thing HDD is ever used for is animus and for that my 5400rpm drive is plenty fast
until tlc is deprecated ssds will be a meme
>move all your media to an SSD
>goes from 30 fps media to 3,000 fps
>use this technique to absorb all the knowledge on the internet
>use the knowledge to blackmail the government all the way under your finger
>use your new puppet state to steal porn from peoples' computers and fuck with terry davis
truly the SSD is the final frontier, anons....
wtf I want an ssd now
I truly have not noticed a difference between when I had Windows 7 on a HDD vs loading Windows 10 on an SSD, so no, it's not a "cost-effective upgrade"
You have to allow for how cripplingly slow Windows 10 is. What with all those downloads and all.
I think the bigger problem is that we've lost the meaning of the word "meme"
>there are people on this board RIGHT NOW who have conversations with themselves as though they are arguing in support / opposition for a particular issue
>these same people put straw men in their created oppositions arguments to try to bolster the supporting argument, only to make themselves appear foolish
