went to solid state disk today...

sorry, can't help myself

[Jim Richards]

The 21st Century is highly overrated.

[svandamme]

well, one thing i don't overrate, is the sound of silence in my living room
and my pc now produces 0 dB


that's right, no spinning disk, no fan's whirring, nothing
the only thing i hear right now, is the cat acting up
and it will get the hose again.

[gassy]

That's sweet--how much space?

[svandamme]

32 gig sata

don't need more, got a 1 terrabyte, mirrored NAS else in the house, them buggers can spin all they want, i don't hear 'em

write speed on the SSD is a tad slower, but that's hardly noticable
bootup, disk read, and access times are b1tchin, and with 2gig of memory, i don't need a swap file

[Tim Walsh]

yep, got my first SSD a couple months back in my EEE PC. Love it, it boots up in about 30 seconds, on the web in under a minute. Ohh ya and I can toss the laptop on the bed/chair without feeling guilty.

You planning on recording a couple of evergreens there, Stijn?

I do not understand "recording evergreens". A local reference?

I think Stijn is more of an Amy Winehouse listener...dark jazz.

The SSD and backup sounds nice.
