Windows 10: Why SSDs are obsolete

If you have a SATA3 system or planning to upgrade soon that's really a nice specs. With SATA2 mobo, you will barely reach 300MB/s.
Good choice there.

 

Yep not bad *Smile

Yes, it's SATA 3 (600) on 6 channels, SATA2 on 4 and eSATA on 4. This MB is full of stuff, even PATA. Floppy, 2xCOM and 1 printer port, that's why I'm hanging to it and not going for FX8xxx. 7.1 sound, firewire, USB2 and 3, everything but SCSI of which I have a bunch but are small. 7.4 GB. You ask for it, this MB has it (well almost). Even if I change platform, I will keep it as a workhorse.

 

Thanks for the reminded I just got this one *Wink

Hi there

Yes - about the possible idea of using new technology FIXED storage -- i.e the storage is fixed to the MOBO rather like the chipset is today.

Cheers

That's already done in small devices like phones etc. VLSI printed straight on the board.

 

I'm planning a triple-boot system with Win8.1, Win10 and Ubuntu 14.10; moreover I intend to install all my production/scientific softwares and dozens of games on Windows 10 RTM. So it won't be a waste anyway... My work data and personal files will be kept in my big spinners, of course.

The next best thing is the PCIe storage.

 

That goes right along with nature abhors a vacuum. I worked 30 years in warehousing and can attest to the truth of the Murphy law.

 

Sad part is, it goes the same for my room. Oh well, spring is coming, got to empty room for renovations anyway.

 

Everyone has different needs and wants. My desktop system is using only 65GB of my 128GB SSD since my data goes on WD Black HDDs. A serious gamer would require far more space on an SSD.

My notebooks, on the other hand, are little, one-drive wonders. Since I'm too spoiled by the speed of SSDs, I had to use 500GB SSDs in them to avoid losing storage space. The notebooks are used just for travel (and emergency backup for my desktop machine) so I don't need as much storage space as my desktop machine.

I've found the speed of data access on the WD Blacks in my desktop to be plenty fast for me. SSDs wouldn't really be much of an improvement unless I was moving large chunks of data all at once. The times I do need to move a large amount of data, I just start the process, then go do something else, like make a pit stop, grab a snack, take a nap, watch TV, etc., stuff I would want or need to do anyway.

My backup drives are pokey 5400rpm WD Greens. Since they run only around and average of ten minutes a day each, I don't mind how slow they are and love how much less they cost. I run my backups while watching the news on TV so it's not like I'm having to stare cross-eyed at a monitor bored out of my skull while waiting for them to spin up and index.

 

Things like that are called click-bait.

 

I'd rather just see SSD prices be on par to hard drives. My hard drives could stand to be replaced by SSDs, only if the 3 TB ones were only $200!

 

I have other names for it but Mama told me not to use those words.

 

I agree.
That's a much better way to respond to what I said rather than putting words into my mouth. I didn't say SSDs are worthless. I got 5 of them. *Smile
