So who's made the leap to SSD?
nstgc:
I was cleaning up and realized something. They said there was an aproximately 2GB throughput, with 24 drives in a RAID 0 configuration. Thats about 85MB per second per drive! My 5400 RPM HDD gets 100MB/s.
Thats a terrible example. Either those are shitty drives, a shitty RAID, or they are bottle necking. I suspect that last option. In either case, its a bad example.
dogsinafen:
Get a nice fast HDD for the OS and use slower drives for data...
I'll switch to SSD for my OS once the price drops A LOT. As of now HDD to plenty for shit cheap.
mgz:
have you considered scsi drives, 15k rpm still much cheaper then SSD not sure if mac can has use them though as its not typical HDD interface for home users
iindigo:
I really want to get away from mechanical drives. Yeah they're cheap, but they're noisy, they're hot, they're not all that fast anymore, and they all have the possibility of just hunkering up and dying at any given moment.
Natheria:
Well even if you buy an SSD right now you're still going to have a bunch of HDDs for the rest of your data. Until memory volume increases and prices drop drastically HDDs are going to be around for a long time to come (i give it 5 years).
