How does people live without SSD drives o.o?

Good question. I think it's just the fact that most average people aren't even aware of what an SSD is, let alone the benefits of having one. They're also quite expensive.

Hopefully, one day, SSD's will be the traditional storage device in computers.

I don't have one, never had one.
Although, my birthday is coming up in 16 days, it's definitely on my wishlist.

The reason why I don't have one is because I never really knew anything about it (I'm not a computer hardware guy, just software), and when I recently did, I don't have the extra money to spare for one.

Then they dont know how a computer works. and waste a lot of performence for nothing

If you use a i7 with massive Graphic card and shit and use a shitty 7200 Rpm disk then you will never get 100% out of your computer

It's such a huge difference between a HDD and SDD it is worth the extra cost for one even on cheaper laptops/dekstops.

I have a Ping flower laptop that i lent out to a girl friend of mine which is the slowest ass computer in the world.
Though in a 32GB SSD (Cheap) and pang it was 100% usable again as a surf/chat computer.

You don't have to sell me on the idea of getting an SSD, I've got one myself.

I'm just saying: most consumers are going into a store and buying some crap $600 laptop or desktop without any knowledge of SSD's whatsoever. And the staff at the store will not mention it because they want the customer to buy the product for commission on their end. Ergo, my original statement that people simply 'don't know' enough about them is probably why people go without an SSD. And maybe some people see it as more of a convenience rather than a necessity.

In my opinion: once you go SSD, you never go back. ^_^

Then now i have 2 goals in my life.

1st: Get everyone to stop saying "itens" instead of "items".

2nd: Get everyone to buy an SSD.

1 noob at the time!

How does people live without SSD drives o.o?

I don't know how did I live with a normal HDD 2 months ago, it took like 4 mins to completely boot and start up all the programs, now with a SSD it takes no where from 20 seconds.

And it's completely worth every cent I spent.

Also I believe anyone with a normal HDD won't get 7.7 in the primary hard disk.

I bought my first SSD in 2010 for crazy prize, it was only 60GB so i only installed my OS on it.

Like a year ago i bought 120GB SSD for my laptop for a lot lower price, AWESOME PERFORMANCE i must say Had to replace my optical DVD drive with 500GB HDD to store my stuff and OS and some programs like Photoshop are running SSD.

 

[Quaro]

I think SSD is one of the best things i ever had in my pc, boot time only takes like 7-15 sec
And it does not sound anything too compared to some HHDs
