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

    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
