Swap, seriously, in this day & age?

Except my server and net book, everything has an SSD. :)

Swap, seriously, in this day & age?

He must be using it for Swap in programs like Photoshop, doubt it is for Windows. :)

I think I will also follow in those footsteps! :D

Not actually for a swap file. I just use it to store temp things that I know I will delete later, or stuff that I haven't organized into my main documents folder yet. :p

Oooof.

No SSDs - yet. (I have one desktop and will be adding a legacy laptop.)

Mom has a desktop and an even older legacy laptop than the one I will be getting - no SSDs in any.

Both desktops are being considered - however, other upgrades have priority.

Hello,

All of my daily-use computers contain an SSD for at least the boot device:

Desktop PC: Corsair F120 120GB SSD + Seagate ST32000641AS 2TB HDD

Laptop (W510): OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD + WDC Scorpio Blue 1TB HDD

Subnote (X220): MyDigitalSSD BP3 128GB SSD + Crucial m4 512GB SSD

Netbook (X120e): Corsair F120 120GB SSD

My computer at work (W410s) also contains a 128GB SSD and a WDC Scorpio Black 750GB HDD.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

    • Ah. La Fontana De Incontinentia ! Bella ! Bella !
    • Hi everyone, I'm planning a small network upgrade and was wondering how others prepare their networks for future needs. Do you usually invest in higher-speed switches and better cabling from the start, or do you upgrade only when necessary? I'd be interested in hearing what has worked well for you and any lessons you've learned over time. Thanks!
