Re: SSD
No, not yet. As I work for a company that develops IPC's we now start to work with SSD's. First you should not that only Intel and Samsung have good ones. Most of the others suffer from losing transfer speed as more as they get filled (We noticed this when we used to transform "some" data into a different db. Rates dropped down to 14kBit per second 
). Also (write) rates (may) drop after a while of usage since most of the controllers are not really able to handle "which cells have been used how many times?" in a fast and simple way.
Hopefully I can get a presentation kit that includes one of those drives. (Hey, I am a salesman - I HAVE to have such a kit sooner or later!
)

Yeah heard only Intel are good at the moment, fast reads but slow writes.. Thinking up getting a couple and sticking FS on them..
Seems to be the way to go.....HDD are going to be a thing of the past...
We even have the option of buying SSD's for large midrange systems, so not just a PC option but going to be used for large business computers.
USB3 seems to be being released at the moment
Can u imagine the specs of a PC in 5 years time!

Re: SSD
Bah! You can get that with a system like mine and it's nowhere near hi-tech. I think I was getting something like 60 fps and dropping to 30 fps near Manhatten. Ahhh...those were the days....sprocky wrote:I may have a smooth FS9 by then

Re: SSD
SSD's are getting there, but do have their drawbacks.

Sums it up pretty well.
IF they ever get it sorted out MRAM will be the way to go.
