Neat. Now they have to get cheap enough so I can use it as storage for my server. 4TB for 300€ sounds fine.

4TB SSD for 300€?

I'd tap that.

I'd tap that 4 times in a RAID 5.

I think i'll stick to my cheapass HDD, thanks.

Research in semiconductors is ALWAYS 10 years away from production.

Making something that works for one cell in a lab work for millions of commercially produced SSDs is incredibly hard and time-consuming.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Longer life is excellent!

But faster? The faster SSDs of today are starting to be limited by SATA 3, so first we need a faster Standard that gets adopted, or use PCIe SSDs.

EDIT: wrong thread...

@topic: I doubt that higher speeds will result in a percievably better real-world performance. I have a SSD from 2010 and another one from 2013 (one of the fastest). They "feel" exactly the same.

SSDs would not be good for RAID.... An SSDs life is way shorter than an HDDs would be way more expensive in the end therefore not efficient

You are probably just making a joke though lol

It must be almost time for SSD to become standard for desktop and laptop. Though cost/MB is still the major block on that.

Awesome. My 128gb SSD is amazing, can't imagine having a computer without one (actually I can, my laptop has no SSD, but whatever)

Should be helpful in less optimized games. I'm playing Wolfeisntien The New Order PS4, and have read articles that with XB1 and PC there is more noticeable pop in than in the PS4's version. So the PS4 is already quite optimized if it can best pop-in on XB1 and PC. Now engines on other games could have a more severe effect.

My guess is the GDDR5 on PS4 limits pop in in-game, that with a faster than 5200RPM stock hard drive can have more benefits on different engines and pop in/loading times. ID tech 5 is used currently in Wolfeisntien The New Order, and upcoming games like The Evil Within and DOOM 4. This engine is fantastic (can hit 60fps with ease on PS4 apparently) for console games imho.

The only problem with SSD will always be the price factor.
