Hi, I've been on an SSD for 4 months now, and i won't go back to mechanical drives. It's silent, fast, ultra fast, and consumes less electricity. It also allows you to quickly jump from sleep mode to awake when the situation calls for it.
The down-side, as you have probably read on numerous posts around tech sites is the price. I baught my 128GB for 450USD and it can't be fitted, at least on a laptop, with a slower secondary drive unless you sacrifice your optical. So i use a firewire external drive for my itunes library and the rest is on the cloud For fast access when i need something. The best experience i had was when i turned the macbook on for the first time with the new drive: 13 seconds max, and i had the welcome message. Then i started going everywhere in the GUI, opening apps playing videos and what have you. SSD rhymes with efficiency. And it feels safer because just as the acronym states it, its solid. No moving parts, all just a lump of tech that sits there silently without those sometimes clicking sounds so familiar to standard Hard drives. If you are really looking into getting an SSD, those from crucial memory are the fastest. They pack something like 380 mbps read and 220 write. The 128gb is probably a bit more affordable now as the 256gb version has come out recently. Hope this sheds some light on the seeds Best regards, Yuma DX® -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
