Solid State disk for a desktop system C drive?
Is there any reason why I shouldn't use a sold state disk as a C drive on a high performance desktop system? 36GB would make a fine C drive for my work. Newegg has 36GB solid state disks starting at 70 bucks. They feature screaming read rates. The write rates are a little slower but still faster than a 7200RPM hard disk. Latency should be zero but I know that something has to happen in the write cycle for a SSD and the summary specs don't list delay times which would be a form of latency. I do Photoshop. I'm thinking of using the SSD for a second disk and dedicating it to swap, temp, and PS work files. That way, if it dies, I haven't lost any work. comments? -- Al Dykes News is something someone wants to suppress, everything else is advertising. - Lord Northcliffe, publisher of the Daily Mail |
