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.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
