    Upgrading all your computers to SSD? (Solid State Drives)

    I had an older gateway (well 5 year old model) that I put a Samsung solid state drive 840 series in, 250GB.

    Even with a 7200rpm 320GB drive in there before, it has a noticeable performance increase.
    Main reason I got it is I sometimes do Skype sessions with demonstrations and things need to be very fast with all he programs running simultaneously.

    Plus, the slight noise reduction always helps.

    Curious when they will get some of the Solid State technology small enough where they can start using cartridges rather than discs in game systems again.

          SSDs still suffer from a limited number of read/write cycles as well. Until that is addressed they will not be suitable for I/O-heavy operations.

              Can you run them externally via USB 2 or would you need to get USB 3?
