December 12, 200718 yr Dear AllI would be grateful for any comments on Solid State Drives which are now being offered (albeit at some considerable cost!)by some manufacturers such as Alienware. Currently the maximum drive is 64 Gb though you can go to 128 Gb on a RAID array. No doubt the prices will fall as the 128 Gb drives appear next Spring. Is there a sufficient bottle-neck on hard disks to justify the cost?RegardsStewart Stewart Scotland, UK
December 12, 200718 yr I saw an article on a tech site recently (can't remember which one) about solid state hard drives. Neat stuff.Personally I think they're too expensive per gig right now to justify getting one. But they are going to drop in price per gig...so that will change in time.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
