Heard SSD failing rate is high. Higher than HDD

Then consumer grade of SSD and even HDD don't suit you. You need to pay more for enterprise grade drives.
Also, SSD upgrade is perhaps better than even ram upgrade.

Some might say 10 sec program loading reduce to 5 sec loading like not significant but hey if you open programs day to day, how many seconds you have saved?
Especially you are in a rush to do something, what would you feel when something response slow like a snail?

Ever considering durability vs performance?
a HDD can last > 5 years let say depreciation of the HDD is 20% slower
and a SSD constantly using can last around 5 years which totally to drain
Which 1 would u prefer if u are a company or a BT downloader?
I dont mind it slow down 5 sec( When you have time to play game 5 sec does it matters?)

I think you totally do not understand what SSD's are meant for and how do we best utilize it. Firstly, start reading up google articles on what are the main advantages of SSD and why is it fast, becoming the current trend, etc. Secondly, if you're someone that doesn't go for technology and not willing to spend, don't ever think of SSD. You can settle down with normal SATA2 or even IDE drives (those won't depreciate so much). Sometimes it's simple, we do our own homework first and get an idea what the product is all about.

Hmmmm, I couldnt disagree you, you are true also i want SSD so much but after reading some of the article SSD doesnt works like HDD u need some space to let it work at optimal rate.
Maybe ill wait for SSD dominate the market 1st only i grab 1 unit

You basically want to improve the read speed of the OS, applications and games you're running hence you put all of these on the SSD drive. Photos, videos, documents, etc should go to the conventional platter drive. By doing this, everything in Windows would be snappier because of the improved response time from the SSD. Remember that most of the time, the bottleneck is with the hard disk drive, not our RAM or CPU. The SSD helps in this area by reducing the bottleneck.

That's the whole problem smile.gif You're reading on a 2008 article which is totally outdated and technology have been improving so much ever since. Even the CPU's are a few generations ahead so please, try to google something more recent for better accuracy. SSD's these days use better controllers and hence does not have high failure rate.
Typical Malaysian mentality which I don't know why smile.gif 70% of the people don't own SSD's and based on their readings and word of mouth, they start spreading the wrong information. This is a mentality which people should change.

2 words Its expensive
i always wanted to raid a HDD but if i raid 2 HDD i would go for a SSD and the capacity of a SSD is very small, so end up i buy 1 HDD

Like I said, if you're not willing to spend and think it's expensive then forget about it smile.gif Live with traditional HDD's or get those old/used IDE hard disks and save some money. You don't even need SATA smile.gif It's not that you can't use them but just that they are not the latest and literally, slow. People that are never willing to pay more for the latest technology will never get to own it. By the time current SSD prices drop, something new has emerged so the cycle never ends. Either you go ahead and pay more for state of the art technology or just forget about SSD's.

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 biggrin.gif . ( 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 biggrin.gif

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..  shocking.gif I apologise if there is any offend. PEACE~~ icon_rolleyes.gif

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

U has the same side as me. I spend 10k on my dekstop after 2 years it is slower than a 3k com.

It's not about sequential speed dude
SSD biggest strength is in Random Read/Write,that why your system feel fast and more swift with ssd when compared to HDD

Yea, i checked 1 forum said that multiple HDD raid 0 is not good, because latency increase (Access Time).
So still stick with 1 or 2 SSD raid or not raid the best
