hi all , i got something to ask.

example , i using a ssd as main boot device with windows
So , it will run extremely fast right.

So , if i got a game or software at another drive which is not ssd , will it run fast also ?

i asking this bcoz i was thinking , since the windows is booting on ssd already .Will it be infected ? or juz run on normal HDD speed eventhough u r using ssd for ur OS

You get SSD performance for files on your SSD and HDD performance for files on your HDD. SSDs won't automagically improve performance of HDDs.

owh, thks

Which means , if i buy this for my OS as my main .

i juz can improve the data receive speed and transfer speed and application on the SSd drive

Install any program that consume less space on your SSD will do.
Its not like you want to store 10 latest game on a SSD right ?

yea, b4 this i waas thinking put all applications games into a ssd.

bcoz i was thinking of get better speed or fps ?

i think my thought was wrg tht time

hah thks for helping

I think SSD only improves the games loading time instead of the fps

if we put windows file on ssd, it will make the boot speed to be faster right??

does start up program will effect the boot speed??if we put the start up program on hdd...

that would be a very obvious YES

Put all programmes & start-up app files in SSD. If you put inside HDD for sure you get HDD speed instead of SSD.

For me I only hv 40GB of space. Howver all my programmes/ start-up files all inside SSD. Only certain large files like my Other countries GPS maps, Photos & movies in my HDD, Other such as my working words/excel & etc all inside SSD. Still I'm still having 19GB of free space out of 450GB.

450GB or 40GB?

I installed my Ms Office in my HDD. Don't want to waste space.

I got 3 storage.

1SSd
2HHD

my SSd is 150Gb
and my HHD is 150Gb and 1 250Gb

all my downloads is in HDD while all the bootable file is in my SSD

Opss typo..40GB nia

Even wth MS office installed still got lotsa empty space what Start-up of Office & even files are much faster.

Bro, the office should go the ssd.

I think mine only left 15GB after installing vlc, visual studio, tune up, eset AV, messenger...Does those eat so much space?

They don't really eat that much space.

SSDs are very suited for programmers. Particularly for programming projects with thousands of source files. Finding strings within files and compiling will be much more faster. If a project used to take an hour to compile on a HDD, you can expect great performance improvement with an SSD.

Well dont you guys know there is a "NTFS Compression" function since windows xp?
And read this before using NTFS compression on your ssd:

And I just bit the bullet and ordered an Intel X25M from owikh. Yay me.

You probably don't want to use NTFS compression on SandForce-based SSDs. It will reduce the advantages of using those SSDs as most of their extreme performance is based on the ability to compress and decompress data on the fly.

Perhaps somebody ought to test if a Kingston SSD with NTFS compression will be comparable to a SandForce-based SSD w/o NTFS compression.

I kinda agree that it is well suited for programmers, cause I am programmer currently. Just that many company still insist using harddisk for the sake of cheap. Thats something that programmers are not getting any benefit from it. XD. But if getting SSD using my money just for the sake of work... I dont want spend it though >.<

Even right now laptops are not installed with SSD yet. I have no idea why. Maybe its because the cost is too much for them.

The major benefit for programmer, will be like what he said... Compiling. And maybe SQL query can help you run faster. But then, later customer will complain their server slow even though you tested in SSD which is consider fast. XD

Did anyone face the current problem of OCZ Vertex 2?
OCZ used 25nm NAND Flash in this part.
The usable capacity (56GB (34nm) -> 51GB (25nm)) and speed are both influenced... Be careful.
