How many SSD's do you own?

[Biohead]

One in the laptop, one in the micro server, and one hooked up to a USB3 adapter for a Win8-to-go install.

2.

 

One in my 2012 desktop and one in my 2010 desktop.

 

[ManMountain]

I use a 120 GB on which the OS is  installed and a 240 GB for favourite games.

0. Cause the cost of them for how little storage you get makes them a bit of a joke.

[NightScreams]

I think I have at least 4. I was also a very early adopter to SSD's. Not sure I could handle an OS on a mechanical HD.

3. One in my laptop, two in my Desktop (one of which is refurbed, so got that nice and cheap)

How the hell do you "refurb" an SSD, reformat it? The term "refurbished" is thrown around way to loosely these days.

Hello,

 

None. Too expensive for the space they give.

3 systems running 8 Sammy 512 Pro's

4 :

 

1 in my Desktop PC

1 (Fusion Drive) inside my iMac

1 boot drive in my home file server

1 inside my Mac mini.

 

More if you count tablets and gadgets...

[sikhwarrior]

2 SSD one in my laptop and one in my one in my desktop.

[Brian M. Veteran]

1 in my own MBP

1 in my work MBA

2 in my iMac

1 in another laptop kicking around

So 5 in total.

I don't see the point of SSDs in my servers just yet.

Only one, if I only count those I actually went out and bought as a replacement for a spinning drive.  Otherwise, 3--the other two being what ships with my Surface RT and Pro tablets.

 

The one I bought definitely extended the life of the machine I put it in, but the Surface Pro took over that machine's role.  These days I just don't have the time/energy/motivation to take apart the older system, grab the SSD, and put it into another system I use.  So it's kinda collecting dust.  The other machine I use all the time is a VM host running about 20 virtual machines, so it's on 24/7, and wouldn't really benefit from faster boot times.

4. 2 in my main rig, 1 in my living room htpc, and 1 in my bedroom htpc

[Atomic Wanderer Chicken]

0, they're too pricey for me

[ZakO]

4. 

• 512GB in rMBP
• 256GB (Samsung 840 Pro) + 240GB (Kingston v300) in main desktop
• 250GB (Samsung 840) in spare laptop, usually used as a media streamer

 

Always painful to use a computer without an SSD now, I get so impatient  :p

 

edit: Actually, 5, I still have a 128GB Samsung 830 somewhere

2 256GB drives in my tower and MBP

1 120GB SSD that is laying around which I have in my Dad's computer.

[SkyyPunk Veteran]

5 in my main desktop - 1 OS, 1 for various stuff (usually toss videos and stuff on it when I plan on editing a bunch), 3 in RAID0 for games n such

2 in my old gaming machine (now a file server....really need to sell it) - 1 OS and 1 other stuff

1 in main laptop

1 in Xbox 360

1 in HTPC

so 10 total currently :P Looking at getting another for my main desktop for TV recording - seems to push the mechanical HDD a lot when recording 2 or 3 shows while commercial detection app is processing them live

They're not really intended for storing a lot. It makes more sense to put your OS and main applications on it for much faster performance. It's a very good upgrade.

Keep your other files on a regular mechanical HD though.

Anyone who says that has never used an SSD.

They either replace the dead controller, fix the firmware, or replace bad flash chips typically.

4.  

 

2x OCZ Vertex 60GB

1x OCZ Agility 3 120GB

1x Samsung 840 Pro 120GB. 

 

All going strong, had the first OCZ's for 3 years.

Or they replace nothing because the user had no idea what they were doing and just sent a working drive back ;-)

[+Majesticmerc MVC]

Just one inside my desktop. Everything else is either an ancient laptop or a tablet now.

[spaceelf]

I came close to that one.  The firmware wouldn't update, though, so it wasn't so much that I had no idea what I was doing as that they had no idea what they were doing.

 

Ironically, the replacement drive had a dead controller, so I sent that back too.
