It took 4 minutes to boot up every time i turned it on. 2gigs of ram. Dual core Celeron. I used a flash drive to help with boot up. After lots of YouTube time. I replaced hdd with SanDisk ssd and 2 gb with 4 gb ram. I was gobsmacked. Today a nuc7i3&rocket nvme & 8gigs ram…HDD? I blow my nose at you

Using Facebook to illustrate SSD performance benefits is pure moronity. No one who is truly concerned about wasting time is on Facebook in the first place. Gee, if every Facebook user had an SSD, they would each have an extra 16 seconds to post something only they believe the rest of us are interested in. The social implications of SSD implementation are staggering.

My first computer was a Xerox 880 running CPM and I’ve been using hard drives since I bought an external 5 megabytes for my IBM PC for $5,000. Right now, the only SSDs I would even consider are Intel but since I clone to backup I prefer three old fashioned drives for the price of one SSD. Stick one in the computer and clone every evening to one of the other two. There’s no substitute for being able to recover your entire system in the time it takes to physically swap out a drive.

Even if SSDs fail in a safe way leaving data intact, the inability to write renders the computer useless until the information is recovered. You can blather on about saving seconds booting, but who boots more than once a day? Even non-geeks let their computers sleep/hibernate and reboot only when installing new programs. Go ahead and save seconds booting with an SSD, I’ll save a whole day when I just go to my back up clone while you’re configuring a new SSD and downloading your back up from the cloud.

Get yourself Netflix (or other “free alternatives, based on bittorrent) and you won’t need anymore crazy storage 🙂

I have 2TB of data on my 15TB array. The same 10 programs get played over and over and over (yes small child).
