a crazy idea just crossed my pointless mind!

i wish the answer is yes,
can i use a solid state drive for my laptop?
if it sais 2.5'' bay and sata II maybe OCZ vertex 60gb?

elias_sgr · 11-23-2009, 06:10 PM

or even more extreme vertex ex series!

powerpack · 11-23-2009, 10:49 PM

Yes you can use an SDD drive! Notebooks love them! So yes!

elias_sgr · 11-24-2009, 02:25 AM

how i didn't think about it earlier!

my lap will fly to the air!

qhn · 11-24-2009, 02:35 AM

... and so quick is the $$$ out of your pocket

One word about SSDs, don't (ever) defrag them and they work well under W7.

cheers ...

elias_sgr · 11-24-2009, 02:42 AM

you mean defragmentation??

if yes i didnt know about!

im going to buy them tomorrow night!

please help with one more issue .. what are the benefits of using 60gb ssd for OS and programs only instead of using a 256 gb ssd ?

does a smaller ssd perform better and quicker than a larger!
i am talking about the ssd that will store only OS and system programs

qhn · 11-25-2009, 03:10 PM

SSDs by default are like flash drive - quick and powerful.

Whilst many prefer separating OS and data into 2 partitions, I personally leave everything in one! Just create a special folder for personal data and back it up often and you are set, no headache, no monkey around. Personal preference, as one says

cheers ...

elias_sgr · 11-25-2009, 06:14 PM

OK!

elias_sgr · 11-27-2009, 03:43 AM

I am confused , between vertex ex 60gb and vertex turbo 120gb...

the 60 extreme costs more than the turbo and is smaller! but the turbo has overclocked memory and higher specs i can' understand why the ex 60gb is more expensive? Is it better than the turbo?

qhn · 11-27-2009, 04:54 AM

From what I read the Turbo is newer and better than the EX model. Not sure about the price difference, have you tried some different selling sources?

cheers ...

elias_sgr · 11-27-2009, 05:30 AM

whatever selling resource i see , i notice higher price for ex model and take in concern that the ex model is not only more expensive it is half the capacity of the turbo , too!

This is frustrating!
It is very difficult to choose between ferrari and mclaren mercedes . They are both super-ssd's but who's the best?? :P
