At least, I'm coming to this conclusion reading reviews on popular sites like Anandtech. But of course I'm still learning about SSDs myself - it's a field evolving very quickly - I'm also interested for my own machines: as a matter of fact, if / when sizes of the order 300 G become available I would be tempted to replace the system disk altogether.
Which brand / model are we talking about? Thanks, Paolo. _______________________________________________ Gcc-cfarm-users mailing list Gcc-cfarm-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gcc-cfarm-users
