I find no straight 10% line unless you include the volatility of the 1990s so I am skeptical and would never think my savings will always grow 10% compounded year over year. If that were the case the top 20% would all be millionaires by now.
I bought not the EVO, but the EVO PRO which is faster and more durable for $255 at Tiger Direct in store.
If you haven't run an OS on an SSD you can't comment. I can't go back.
The OS won't have the hourglass while it thrashes the disk waiting on i/o to complete. Even on a modern OS poorly threaded apps will chock on i/o and slow your whole system down. It is maddening now.
Yes they do.
My single Samsung pro has double the speed of a raid 5. Many many times more in latency too.
Hilariously, that is the first actually valid reason to switch from 7 that I've ever heard.
It is why the Mac Pro's only support 8.1 in bootcamp.
Is Windows 9 here YET?
I was so hoping to see it at BUILD a few weeks ago.
Well, if more people like you stopped saying "it's impossible" maybe some of your countrymen would stop thinking it was. Some might even start thinking about how to change it.
I've noticed many Americans seem to have a strange habit of dismissing or often completely ignoring (as you just did) anything that happens outside of the US. Clearly representative democracy must invariably result in two parties with an unshakeable grip on power! Except that most of the time it doesn't. Just in the USA.
Do what people in other places in the world have done. Get off your ass, stop saying it's impossible, and work for change. Go find a third party you can support and volunteer for them. Or run yourself. Sure you'll lose, today. Maybe not tomorrow.
Maybe not a cell phone interface
Until all the apps are full screen only with no way to leave unless I get thrown back into a cell phone I wont be switching. I hope the apps only have 3 or 4 functions that are all hidden by default.
That would be sooo cool. I am sure if I go to a starbucks with such a gui I can get so many chicks owwing and ahhing and using my hip touch screen. Sharkwire looks so cute
Interferes with someone in the lawful use of data would seem to cover it.
You are engaging in learned helplessness.
But that includes the inflation of the 1990s which are overbought. If you include from the beggining and including the great depression you will see a much less modest return. 10% growth is over as everyone is in now.
They most certainly are not fine.
Winrot hits these things and users are used to +5 min boot times these days when you have McCrappy taking whole corporations down every 4 hours on Tuesday where only 1 app can be open at a time. Yes that example was bad but typical in a corporate environment with cheap CIOs.
SSDs make computers like cell phones.
The reason people do not upgrade computers like CEll phones is because computers are boring and very very slow and bulky. Cell phones use flash ram and everything is instant.
It is time we said goodbye to platters they are sooo terrible.
I was about to get a new i7 as I run lots of VMWare workstation domain setups and VMs. It takes 20 minutes to start and shutdown 7 or 8 VMs at a time even with 16 gigs of ram on my AMD phenom II. It is 6 core though.
I bought a samsung pro 256 gig and WOW! I can start them all in about 2 - 3 minutes now. I could probably load them in 1 minute if I had a more powerful CPU as I assumed my CPU amd phenom II 2009 era was the bottleneck. IT was I/O all teh way until I did the upgrade. Now I may not even get an i7
TRIM on PCI raids works on Windows
I have a samsung pro SSD. In rapid mode I get about 540 - 600 gigs a second and that is on a 2010 era machine with just sata3. It can go up to 750 gigs a second close to the mac unit on sata6.
Best $250 investment I made considering it is 256 gb. I have a slower 256 gig sansdisk that is only 320 gigs a second. But to be honest I notice no difference between the two when loading star wars the old republic levels and booting. It is latency and IOPS per second that impact performance the most unless you do straight heavy reads and writes.
Even copying from a hard disk that I use too for storage it gets 160 megs a second copy. FOr my 40 gig game installs this task of moving used to take 35 minutes. It now takes 9 minutes. SSD to SSD copy takes 3 minutes
