HD movie files and game files eat up a lot of space.
some game like call of duty 6 alone use 11GB of space. sweat.gif

Seriously how come the price for HDD can drop so fast but I don't see the same trend for SSD. I'm thinking to buy one for my gaming setup but now it still over my budget. Anyone know any 'insider' information about SSD price dropping in the future? brows.gif
*
growing market of HDD. sweat.gif
but i think SSD still takes time, since only enthusiast aiming for them.
which SSD model bro aiming? brows.gif

if im not mistaken, for ssd you need to allocate ~20% free space, so that the drive wont suffer from performance degradation.

so if 80gb less 20% free space, actual can use until 64gb only, before taking a performance hit. sweat.gif
*
hey, is that means if i have an 80GB SSD, to avoid performance hit,
then i can only format 64GB to use, then the other 16GB leave it unformat?

Guys, which brand of HDD do you think is reliable? Hitachi/WD/Samsung? I don't want speed, just want reliability for data.

Now we know why there is no 3TB internal, you need specific mobo to support it.

hey, a 3TB desktop hdd cannot be a boot drive only right?
but it can be data storage drive for desktop right?

what actually address the LBA?
motherboard? processor? or other? unsure.gif
