If got 1 million in bank account. Why not get one SSD. ;-)

You don't get the point Let me tell you why:

1. You must understand that in a PC, there are always a need for non-volatile storage. As such, we have something called HDD (platter drives) in the past and now SSD (NAND-based flash memory). How can you compare in terms of 3.5" or 2.5"? It doesn't make sense

2. If you think SSD is a new product then you are wrong again. Please, use google.com or wiki to read up about SSD.

3. The problem with typical Malaysians are that people are never realistic. We expect everything to be cheap, think and day dream that SSD will have a 200-300% drop in price next month (for example). It is also because of such mentality, people easily get conned and fall into get rich quick schemes because of their sillyness and foolishness. Look, over time when production is getting higher, price will eventually be cheaper.

4. Based on your explanation, you totally have the wrong concept altogether. Your understanding about RAID is totally incorrect. The main purpose of RAID is obviously not for combining disks! If you think SSD is not popular in the US then you're wrong again You should join up some US based forums and look at their storage sub-section.

5. I do not want to dwell into how and why SSD is better than a normal hard disk but from the way you explain, I'm pretty sure you don't even own a piece of proper SSD so you can't tell nor differentiate. Your theory and conclusion is based on reading and understanding the wrong information from the wrong people OR you just don't get the whole point and picture of why SSD could make a difference to your daily computing.

6. No one is forcing you to buy. Everything that is new in the market is never cheap. It's either you are willing to spend for something state of the art or just live with technology of the past.

7. Lastly, it is best if you can find a PC running with a proper SSD so that you can understand what difference it gives.

Any bad remarks about the Corsair F60 SSD?
I am planning to get it for my future rig or should I wait for the next generation SSD?

I also want to get this F60 last 2 weeks. Then I googling a bit just before buy, so many bad news about this model,
mainly because its Firmware problem
Reading from so many sources also like that.
I don't know whether it's alrd settle alrd or not.

Hopefully fix it fast lah. I also want buy a good SSD. I find this F60 most fits me in terms of performance & budget.
How come now those SSD so many issue (eg. Firmware/Controller) one, last time but a simple HDD only need to choose Brands, but now buy a SSD also need to know so many stuff. Tired alrd....

It would still be a few months before I buy it..hope they fix they update the firmware by then
But it still has the Sandforce memory controller..one of the few reasons I didn't want to get the Kingston V series

1. I didn't compare 3.5 or 2.5. just that all are drives that able to save your data and storage in an efficient way.

2. i nvr think SSD is a new product. ( You assume only ). That's is why it has been so many years, but SSD is still not able to rise up in the market, and yet everyone is still thinking of purchasing RM300+ 2TB harddisk.

3. Here is Malaysia. That is how the market is. I'm bought a PC cost RM8k last year. All frens and other relatives said I'm idiot. I do enjoy technology. But guess what. After use it for some time, I really do think it is really waste of money cause with RM3k I can still enjoy using PC. That is life. That is why people still hoping SSD to drop price. Trust me, it will. It is just a matter of time. ( This is what era, even LCD few years ago from 10k drop even RM600 only ).

4. RAID is used to increase storage reliability through redundancy, combining multiple low-cost, less-reliable disk drives components into a logical unit where all drives in the array are interdependent. I never say it is for combining disks. ( You assume it as well ).

5. It is true i do not own SSD. But do you think all reviewers in the whole world are giving wrong information? That is how I get my nice pc after reading review video for 3 months in total. I also know it can make difference for daily computing. But how much. Huge diff? How huge it will be? Could you please elaborate more on this? Cause I really do not think normal consumer really need to spend 1k on harddisk right now just can make difference for daily computing. ( Except for organization thats for sure ). If purchasing SSD is just to speed up games, processing daily photo, video editing, gaming ( Thats what all normal consumer do ). I think it's not worth it.

6. In fact, I'm not planning to buy at the moment . ( and no one is forcing me too lolz ) You pay what you get. Thats all I can say.

7. I feel it does not necessary to do so cause all my frens don't have SSD. With my current pc spec. I'm really happy with it

I have alot of feeling about this since I bought RM8k PC. It is not that I wan to make myself bangga. Just to let you know. Here is Malaysia. If really want to make everyone able to get SSD. It's either make Malaysia economy better or wait till SSD drop price. Man.. writing this is like flamming already.. I apologise if there is any offend. PEACE~~

P/S: Lolz, after finish this post, i only find out is you. Yesterday afternoon we chat about acceletro 5870 lolz.

Will the RM 3K desktop with an SSD be slower, as fast or faster than the RM 8K desktop with a HDD at launching 50 programs? It may be interesting to see such a youtube clip.

SSD is faster than HDD...
it's like comparing rocket engine with jet engine...

Impossible for a regular 3k desktop with a SSD can be slower than a 8k desktop with a HDD..
HDD is a bottleneck of the system..if only the bigger capacity SSD is cheap in the market then it would totally boost gaming loading times assuming it is installed on the SSD

One more reason to upgrade to ssd now,

why not the intel X-25.Am i missing something here.Havn't been updating with SSD's for now.

The current generation of Intel's SSDs are out-classed by SSDs with SandForce controllers. It remains to be seen if Intel's 3rd generation of SSDs, coming out within the next few months, will be better or not.

sometimes you just wish you'd born in a tech advanced world eh? latest stuffs can get instantly and no need rugi conversion. and always get rebate rebate. unlike here even after bargain stil so exp. lol

haha very true...i guess grass is not greener here after all when it comes 2 latest tech eh semua suka2 naik tapi gaji sekali tak pernah naik pun so ya tech remain luxury hobby here unlike western counterpart...work in MCD 4 say 3 months in western can get SLI system easily dy

The problem in Malaysia is there's less to no distributor to some great and/or rare items, that's why it's so expensive, it's also sort of monopolize.
Even the value items will become not-so-value when it came into Malaysia, and at the East here, we suffer more than just the conversion, shipping from West already cost us, even worst some retailer just don't want to import the stuff I wanted... *sigh*

able to afford 8k pc but not consider even an ssd.

Gentlemen...I am new to SSDs...but from what my fren showed me...I believe it is something that I could use.
My fren booted his outlook as though it was already running.
I am guessing this applies for applications like photoshop too?

My 250GB HDD just died on me and I am looking for a replacement ASAP. So wanted to ask if buying a SSD is really that much better compared to conventional HDDs.

If yes, what is the mainstream SSD drive now?
Please recommend.
Thanks!

It is really better compared to a regular HDD but state your budget first because some of them priced to give people heart attack..

RM700~800
Izzit enough to get a good one?
