Wilford Cutlery posted:How important is the amount of system RAM with an SSD? At work I like to bump people up to 8GB if they're at 4 or 6, plus clone them to an SSD. My boss doesn't like to upgrade the RAM in the 6GB systems, he says that when you get low on RAM and start swapping to disk, it's a non-issue when it's an SSD. SSD's make 4GB tolerable but I myself find my Windows of at work hitting the limit on 8GB The hell did you get 6GB systems? Half upgrade some 4GB machines?

I'd run the bigger drive if you can use the space. If it starts running like poo poo worry about it then.

VulgarandStupid posted:How important is one SSD for your OS and another for your games? I've been hearing more and more that it makes a difference. Kind of a pain to deal with 2 disks - just buy one big one. As far as performance is considered, it's not going to be noticeable.

MaxxBot posted:The office laptops at my last job would take an eternity to boot with spinners due to all the crap the IT department had them loaded down with, going to SSDs probably cut like a full minute or more off of boot times, a larger difference than I saw when transitioning from spinner to SSD on my home PC.

Red_Fred posted:What is the recommendation on external drives? I want to get one for travelling to backup photos. Looking at 128 or 250 Gb most likely and will buy a Orico USB3 case or something for it to go in. I have two 500gb ssd’s In Orico usb 3 cases, they’re great and we’re way cheaper than off the shelf.

There are none that are cheap. I think there were a bunch of GoFlex adapters cheap back in 2011 or so, I regret not picking a handful of those up.

You could velcro it in there, but those caddies are like $5 I'd just buy one. Buy why not just buy an M.2 SSD in the 2242 (42mm) size? Bob Morales fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Nov 16, 2017 |

redeyes posted:So I recently ran into (separately) a Samsung 830 that was causing a computer to straight up shut down and a Crucial M500 that caused a 7F bluescreen. From my experience its rare for a SSD to work until its NAND is used up. I had an 830 that would randomly freeze up the computer it was in, or just drop off the SATA bus. Had to chuck it. Poor little guy

Jaxyon posted:Quick question: I know 850 Evo's are a good reccommendation, but is there any reason why I wouldn't want an 860 if it was cheaper than an 850? The 860 won't really be any faster (SATA is becoming a bottleneck) but it will have better write endurance. I'd go with the newer drive.

Klyith posted:Even if it does have a warranty, it would only be one year which is kinda meh anyways. I would be looking more at using a credit card with good protections. Throw it in a machine and immediately give it a couple TB of writes to stress it -- if that's good then the warranty is likely arbitrary. On one hand it's 80-90% of the EVO 850, but on the other hand it looks stuttery as gently caress  Either way, that's a ton of SSD storage for $250
