" Arrowneous a écrit : Be careful with the newer SSDs that have the smaller NAND memory cells of 22 nm or less size as they will wear out faster. I'm watching the SSD Endurance Experiment tests being done over at The Tech Report: http://techreport.com/review/24841/introducing-the-ssd-endurance-experiment and the follow up: http://techreport.com/review/25681/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-testing-data-retention-at-300tb to see which drives are showing NAND cell failures first. Right now it looks like Samsung is pushing the NAND memory storage capabilities too hard (bleeding edge of technology) and their drives are showing the most errors to date. The testing is still ongoing and so the final results aren't in yet but all interested in purchasing an SSD drive should read these tech articles before making a buying decision. " DarkMain a écrit : Thats intresting... I was looking at getting the Samsung 840 EVO... Winder if I should rethink that. I have a Samsung 840 vanilla 250GB (233GB in reality) for exactly 1 year and Samsung Magician software tool tells me that i've written ~2TB so far. And this is with a lot of downloaded 720p mkvs, usually sized 4-6 GB each. A lot lot. So with relatively extensive use i've written 2TB in 1 year of usage. Go figure how much i'll use that drive ... i'll probably change/update it before I'll see the first sign of real wear. So they are safe for consumer level usage.

If you were getting like 15 sec load times I would say a ssd would help, but 3 sec? You probably won't notice a difference really.	Posté par BackwoodsS#0171 le 7 janv. 2014 à 08:15:39 Citer ce post

" RulerofAsgard a écrit : SSDs are just amazing. Computer used to take 3+ minutes to fully boot up - now it takes about 30 seconds. Every normal computer boots in 30 seconds or less with a normal HDD .... Make Spectral Throw great again	Posté par CommodoX#7313 le 8 janv. 2014 à 04:59:20 Citer ce post
I highly doubt that you will see a HDD that boots fully up in 30seconds. Sure, its still long times for him(before and after SSD) but booting up and loading every systemstart program in 30seconds? Botting up to WIndows in 30 seconds => no problem but loading all the programs(in a non fresh installed windows) => never. __ SSD speeds up PoE by a lot but it doesnt fix the problem. The main problem is somewhere else but this game needs like 4-5 seconds to loud..thats akward long compared to 10-15seconds fully booted up OS(im not a expert tho but this game 'acts' like its the lil' bro of battlefield)	Posté par xenani#6409 le 10 janv. 2014 à 03:28:20 Citer ce post
