What's a SSD?

NorCalFish · Apr 8, 2009

roughly put...and SSD is a REALLY BIG (relatively speaking) memory card. A hard drive without moving parts; a Solid-state drivehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

SSD=Solid State Drive.

It is all memory chips, there are no moving parts to wear out.

They are $500, $600 per drive so this dude must be loaded...

it sounds like samsung gave them the drives to play with so they could have material for an ad campaign...tough

LOL that is one insane build.

More practically though, SSD drives have gone down in price significantly, so doing raid on 4 of these drives (along with your normal TB drives) should be doable and still return some nice gain in speed.

Oh oh now I am in trouble, not gonna be able to sleep tonight! lol.

My heat sink still beats his!
