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

Which did you go with?

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.

I should put this as part of my sig:

If you're only using your SSD for WoW, you do not need a top of the line expensive version. I 5 box without lag, including Dalaran and WG, with a cheapo RiData 32GB MLC version.

Run Windows off a regular mechanical drive.

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)
