Up until about 2 months ago mine was 90% until I acquired a new windows 7 machine for my server. Then I added an SSD as a boot drive and am now running 100% SSD Which is 6 machines 1 of which gave to my parents but it's still mine.

So what % of your machines have an SSD?

100%. My HP laptop, Macbook Pro, Mac Mini server, and desktop PC all have SSD in them (OCZ). They are so cheap right now, it's worth every penny to convert them all. Recently bought another Vertex 4 256GB for $175. Crazy cheap!

Gonna Get SSD when i can for my Toshiba Laptop, Despite it still runs XP unforuately, may look into SSD for Parents PC in the future, This Desktop here i only got 1 internal bay for a hard drive, so not sure on getting SSD yet for this one, not sure where i'd put all my data at lol--(Music, PIctures, Documents, etc)

I don't have an SSD, and I don't know anyone with one.

Although I'd like to get one or more, the price is just not worth it at this point, and now that you've got 4TB HDDs showing up............................................................

50%. Primary Desktop has one (128GB Samsung 830), Primary Laptop has one (256GB Samsung 830).

Don't feel the need to have one in my server and I've just removed the one from my secondary laptop (after getting the OCZ drive replaced 6 times in 2 years I've put back in a regular HDD until I buy a more reliable brand).

You don't need a bay for an SSD as they're tiny and you can just lay them or velcro them to your pc.

Zero. None. Still fully on the spinning ones :/ Hey, at least I know my PC is working because I can hear it working :D

Yeah, because HDD noise correlates directly to a PC working :p SSD's are great, but I still need HDD's to store data on, so I still have 2 HDD's in my desktop just for that reason. I use my desktop to stream media to my netbook and some other devices around the place

My and my wives main workstation's have an Intel 520, 120GB for the boot drives, my carputer has an Mushtek 240GB mSata drive as its primary, and I have 2 80 GB Intel SSD's in external drives as swap outs for my car media. Only machine in the house that doesn't have an SSD is my server which has 16 2TB drives in for long term storage needs all RAID'ed.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
    • The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
