Hard Drive that will change your boxxing forever

[pwnstarz]

Hey guys, I just bought a new hard drive and I had to post it here as it has taken boxing to a new level. I had a computer with pretty much the best of everything and it still didn't handle 4 boxing perfectly but then i bought a new hard driver. They are called a solid state drive, don't get too excited unless you have 400 to 600 to spend on one but they are well and truly worth the cash.. windows boots up in 4 to 5 seconds and everything in windows is instant.. when it comes to wow like taking portals, loading screens or waiting to load it pretty much doesn't exist.. if people are running them I would love to hear their thoughts or if anyone upgrades tell me what you think.. I'm in heaven!

People have been talking about SSD's for... a long time now? You can easily browse this hardware forum and see who else is loves their SSD.

400 - 600 I hope you aren't talking USD. Does it brew coffee? I didn't pay anywhere near that for my raid of SSD's.

It is Australian Dollars but still $1AUD = $.85 US

I have corsair force's that i got for around $250 for the pair in my desktop. And one of the original Corsair CMF style in my carputer.

Newegg is selling a really nice 80GB one for $215 USD. I'm picking up 2 of 'em (one for my gaming machine, another for a laptop)

I'm thinking this one right here would be the best one for the prices cause of the high read/write speeds for the a 32gb drive

edit: next time I'll read reviews first before suggesting. This one turned out to be a bad one after all unless you can manage to get a working one and update it after install. Bunch of people flaming Patriot for this flop.

edit #2: Just placed an order for an 80g ssd for my laptop. I hope like hell I see a major performance boost in not just WoW, but all my other games I play. Wish I coulda sprung for the much larger ones tho. I'd love to have two in my laptop, but I'll settle for one.

Depending on the model you may want to be careful using an SSD as your Windows drive (although I do), due to degradation over time with small writes. Ualaa can give you all the details though; he has that stuff down cold.
