January 17, 201016 yr Only load times have reduced.Since FSX constantly loads scenery throughout a flight, that's not a bad thing!I'm using two 80GB X-25 G2(s) in Raid 0 which provides extremely high sequential/random read speeds and almost zero latency. I don't really notice scenery loads anymore except in extreme cases (e.g., complex airport load) I'll get a blip, sort of like a microstutter, but not really as it happens only once. As a prior poster put it, very fluid.Is it worth it? Probably not on value terms at current prices (I upgraded from a pretty good hard drive arrangement though).
January 17, 201016 yr Since FSX constantly loads scenery throughout a flight, that's not a bad thing!True, but on my computer having an SSD makes no difference during flights, so... somehow the loading of scenery etc. during a flight doesn't take advantage of hte SSD... I was hoping it would, but it didn't. To me personally this is some sort of proof that defragging doesn't help either (with regular HD's: SSD don't need defragging at all): I never had any benefit from defragging, which would make files more easily accesible for FSX. Well, an SSD makes files 100% accesible all the time, but still no real difference...
January 17, 201016 yr Commercial Member Thanks for the replys, I agree, at current prices, Not a deal.I once upon a time paid $1k for a 5mb (megabyte) hard drive so by those standards SSD's are a steal. :( jja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
January 17, 201016 yr Commercial Member True, but on my computer having an SSD makes no difference during flightsI agree, until you get a system that can run at 4ghz and above. That's when an SSD will shine in FSX. Micron has a SATA 3 SSD coming out that wil scream but FSX and the graphics system will need to be fast enough to process all that data coming in.jja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
