Does anyone here own a solid state harddrive?
I've been looking into getting 150-200gb Solid State drive to run Windows 7 off of and see how well that performed w/ everything else I have. As of now the bottleneck's in all system's are harddrives.
The solid state drives really have me interested and it is amazing how much quicker they are then regular hard disks.
I thought about it but couldn't justify the cost, especially for my desktop. From what I was reading solid state drives would not be ideal for the OS because they only have a limited number of read/writes before they burn out. Your OS does so many read/writes for page files that it would burn out quickly.
I assume you can turn off paging files in Win7 some how...but I'd still be leary of putting my OS on a SS drive since I don't know what other files the OS may read/write.
