| 831337 | 2009-11-19 04:27:00 | I really cant see the sense in a 1TB SSD.....what, you going to store video, music & p0rn on it?...I guess games would be viable, however I'd rather spend the dosh on a new GPU, monitor or game peripheral (wheel!) Lossless photos & music, for instance, can fill up the hard drive very quickly. |

| 831338 | 2009-11-19 04:54:00 | You mean that 64GB/128GB isn't a decent capacity? :eek: Not for me, who just bought two 1TB drives |

| 831339 | 2009-11-19 06:09:00 | Not for me, who just bought two 1TB drivesYes, but how much of that data requires extremely fast random I/O? For most home users, that much data is likely to be in comparatively large, contiguous chunks, infrequently accessed, with minimal contention for bandwidth - and as a result doesn't require the blazing speed of an SSD. A larger, cleaper, slower HDD will do the job fine. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 831340 | 2009-11-19 06:15:00 | "The Colossus core-architecture is also available to enterprise clients with locked BOMs (build of materials) and customized firmware to match their unique applications." Firmware for a hard drive? What on earth is the benefit of that? |

| 831341 | 2009-11-19 07:39:00 | So it can be used. ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 831343 | 2009-11-19 08:28:00 | Oh I see, they stated it like it was some new fangled thing. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
| 831344 | 2009-11-19 09:12:00 | If it is to store stuff I have forgotten, 1TB is not going to cut the mustard. Even if it is a very fast 1TB, my forgettory is pretty slick lately. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

A larger, cleaper, slower HDD will do the job fine. Which is one of the reasons why I bought them and didn't pay $100,000 for SSDs (that and up until now SSDs were still too small) What's your point? My point is that 64GB no matter if it's an SSD or not is too small for me. Even now that there is a 1TB SSD, I still wouldn't buy it, it's far too expensive and I am still waiting to see how long they actually last |
