So, again I've lied to myself and now venturing into the SSD technology, my PC is slow because of the HDD and want to feel the real performance of my Bulldozer chip.
I have heard bad reviews of SSDs how they fail easily etc. Basically theres loads of options for SSDs but whats what?
I want to basically put Windows onto it (Maybe Ubuntu but I doubt) and a few games leaving my HDD for stored data and games.
So really want to have a speedy startup, most used programs etc etc.
I have seen an OCZ Vertex 2E on Scan for £29.99, it is a 60GB model but its only SATA II.
Hopefully this will be a useful thread for anyone wanting to compare SSDs to HDDs and speeds etc.
So really what I want to know is this:
Would a SATA II SSD outperform a SATA III HDD?
Whats the difference between an external SSD and an internal SSD?
Will an external SSD outperform an internal SATA III HDD?
The reason is because there is so many storage options, for example there are cheap 128GB EXTERNAL SSDs, compared to expensive internal SSDs.
Whats the advantages and disadvantages of using a EXTERNAL SSD like an internal SSD?
Are SSDs more reliable than HDDs.
I personally only want to install Windows and a few most used games on it
Hopefully this thread will be helpful for other people too. Whats good and whats not.
