SSD vs. HDD (part 1 of 2)
Feb 18th
In this video, I demonstrate the biggest advantages of owning an SSD. I do this by torture testing both an 80 GB 5400 RPM laptop drive (probably has 8 MB cache) and a Crucial 128 GB SSD with 64 MB cache. Torture Test Part 1: Transferring a 40 GB folder from the hard drive to an Iomega 1 TB external (I called it a Simpletech in the video… I was wrong it actually is an Iomega) Torture Test Part 2: Installing a game Torture Test Part 3: Loading and using a web browser What I hope to demonstrate in the video is that by using an SSD, any program you use will run as fast as if you were not running any installs or lengthy file transfers in the background. I hope you enjoy it!
