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

    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/  
    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
