new sdd for your mac or PC (for tweak tool for mac)

[dj_cross_fade]

Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks or mac's. Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC or mac.



so u would use this for your main drive to run your os
for this i would say away from windows xp .

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820233205 this is to the 90 gb

now i know it seems a bit much but what u or paying for is no crashing ,hard drive taking a piss
and speed . lost and lost of speed.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820233193 this is on the cheep for the 60 gb


here is a update if u have osx lion lion tweaks 2.0
it enable's trim and u can tweak the dock to be 2d so that it does not put as much load on your mac .also u can turn off animation.

i will post more tweaks once i find them .

Hey,
Ssds are not as cool as most people thought when you do strong workin on the SSD the drive will be very hot. If the drive becomes to hot all data are lost because when the chips are defective nothing can be repaired so the Ultimate solution is it also NOT.

I will it say they are bad but I'm working with these new technolgy and know how they work and what temperatours they can create.

Me neither, I´m using the Force GT DJcrossfade posted but in the 180gb version.

If you get the ForceGT you might wanna consider a bigger one (unless you have a second hd-port) also the ones bigger 180GB use a different controller technology. The ones with capacity >180gb are faster than the ones with less space.

As for Apple, you have to enable Trim yourself, as Apple only allows it for their own branded ssds by default.

I've also read that in the earlier SSDs, they lost memory after a certain number of read/writes. I'm not sure if they've fixed this at this point, but it's a good thing to keep in mind just in case technology hasn't progressed as quickly as we would like it to.

[christiankoopmann]

Hey,

they will be smaller after a few month of hard work but it is not as high like the early devices. Now they use a technology which puts the blocks on different places after every write so the wearlevel is on all chips identically.
The method is realy interesting but too complex to write down (can be read for example at intel or other SSD vendors)

fixed this at this point,

For me it's working fairly well, I would say seems to be fixed

I agree with Unc,
using ssds since last summer on my laptops I cant say there´s anything wrong with it.
Even if it should slow down after a while it´ll still be way faster than a hdd.
Also I havent seen a notebook hdd last longer than 3-4 years now before failing.

imo it´s just the lobby of hdd-manufactureres telling horror-stories, that might have been true some time ago, but not anymore to my experience.
