Some E Waste FYI

SSD drives will not replace regular drives for some time. The ISSUE with an SSD drive (yes it is an issue somewhat) is that SSD drives only have so many read/write cycles before the cell goes bad (think sectors on a regular HD)...I had discussed this in a previous thread. Once too many cells go bad, then the drive essentially cannot relocate info and is dead. This sounds fine until you start saving and deleting alot of small files, browser cache, etc etc. Whereas, a mechanical drive can last an extraordinary amount of time if it is taken care of (not overheated, banged around etc).



I use a SSD drive for my programs (they do not overwrite info often) and have a regular mechanical drive (also for sheer size...up to 4 TB per drive on those these days) for all of my data. My machine is SCREAMING fast because of the setup.

just thought I would give that nugget of info out there for people thinking about SSD drives etc. If you set them up correctly, they are screaming fast...just have a regular mechanical drive for all the files you save and delete.
