I'm perfectly happy with magnetic drives and RAID0 at the moment. 157MB/s is very impressive but I think my striped pair clocks 110MB/s or thereabouts.
Yeah, your RAID can do similar speeds when doing linear access, ie read/write a connected area on the disk one block after the other.
SSDs will do similar speeds with random accesses, like they happen in the real world. Magnetic storage fails at those.
I'm not saying it won't be quicker! I'm just saying that I won't notice it that much, and I don't mind the little 0,1 sec wait anyways
One 0.1s wait is no problem. How many I/O operations does it take to start up an application? Hundreds? Thousands? If you wait 10ms less per I/O operation then you will wait 10s less for 1000 I/O operations. I'm sure you're not THAT old yet to not notice it :lol:
someone +rep AiR for me?
I've run out of SSD's I can give him
Done.
Give them your money. What are you going to do with money? Buy food? Nobody likes you. You don't need food. You need a SSD-drive. Then all people will love you. Everyone will be impressed. "There goes the man with the huge penis" they'll say. And everyone will want to have sex with you. Consume. Consume. Consume.
Buying an SSD may actually make more money for you. You're more efficient in your time, thus you can earn more per hour if working with a computer, or have more time to work without the computer because your computer-related bits go faster.
