| 1335593 | 2013-04-05 00:20:00 | What is the advantage of SSD as primary drive. I mean, should I get one at once? |

| 1335595 | 2013-04-05 00:38:00 | Yeah, lots of speed! Provided your system has enough RAM to open the applications happily, a SSD is a worthwhile investment IMO! |

Not all SSD's are made equal though, there are quite a few that will offer performance that only matches current HDD's (in terms of speed - the seek times will always be better). These drives are good for replacing a HDD where speed isn't a Major issue. A lot of ultrabook's use them. Mostly for laptops where impact sensitivity and power consumption are big features. In a desktop you could either get a nice 120/256 GB SSD or one of the hybrids. Personally I'd get a slightly bigger SSD for the OS + Programs/Games, getting a 64GB SSD and installing everything else on a HDD is a waste of time and money IMO, yeah the OS will load like a beast but doing anything else on it is gonna be slow. Short story long - Get an SSD if you're looking for a performance boost, but get one big enough to install the big applications you like to use as well as windows. |
