nfbr Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Lol, so I sound like the kind of pirate Mac user who doesn't have many files? Possibly more one who cares more about the ability to throw the computer on the floor without damaging it and speed rather than disc size?[quote name='Jon' date='16 October 2009 - 11:21 PM' timestamp='1255731674' post='727Seriously, the performance from this OCZ SSD I've got is insane - best £60 I've spent on eBay.

Unheard Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 SSD's are for People who don't have many files... And people who don't mind paying £550 for a 256gb Hard Drive.SSD are for people that are sensible enough not to store all their files on the main drive. SSD for your main drive and an exturnal drive for all the backups of pictures and general crap. If you store large files on a macs main drive without a partition you will slow the mac downpeople have this misconception that macs do not fragment but they do. They have an active defrag written into the OS that shifts files about constantly but it only works on files up to a certain size. A partitioned hard drive is also not really any better because you are still using the same physical hard drive as the OS is stored on. SSDs will actually cope with large files better as they dont need contiguous files as every sector of the drive can be acsessed at the same time where as a physical drive has to spinn a disk and can only read when the head has passedthe section with the data. SSD as your main drive with all your programs and an external drive like a lacie rugged for all your saved files. If your only ever using the computer in your home then a NAS is the best option and you have a network mapped drive i would avoid a time capsule though unless it is located in a cool place. If the fan fails then the drive will cook it's self its a big complaint with them. SSDs are fantastic for laptops as traditionally you have less memory in a laptop than a desktop and that can cause problems as you end up using the hard disk for virtual memory far more creating a bottle neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Don't get me wrong, I'd love an SSD Drive, but I don't have a £500-600 budget for 256gb!If anyone can find me a 256gb one for £60, Point it out and I'll buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 My new 17" Macbook Pro arrived today Checked out the Serial number with apple and they tell me this particular one was built 7 weeks ago! Pretty fresh hey?Theres a lot of cool stuff that I absolutely love about it which are better than my Macbook, For starters the new Multi-Touch pad! I thought it would be hard to get used to clicking the pad and not having a seperate button, but after less than an hour on it and I'm struggling to use the Button on my Older macbook! lol. So far, So good! Gona nip to the apple store tomorrow for a chat with a member of staff regarding warranties with Macbook Pro's when buying stock from a Bankrupt company...

The 30-inch Cinema Display is $1799. As Jeff Mancuso notes, it’s like buying a nice display and getting a built-in Mac for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
