Why a Hard Disk Is a Better Bargain Than an SSD 403
Lucas123 writes "While solid state disks may be all the rage, what's often being overlooked in the current consumer market hype is that fact that hard disk drive prices are at an all-time low — offering users good performance and massive amounts of capacity for 10 to 30 cents a gigabyte. And in a side by side comparison of overall performance of consumer SSDs and HDDs, it's hard to justify spending 10 times as much for a little more speed."

"A little more speed" ? how a bout a lot more speed ?
No matter what I do with my Bunsen Burner and Alchemy cookbook I can still only turn my SSD's into a molten pile of useless debris. Which smells.
Tips for speed production using only harddrive technology would be most welcome.

Unless they bought a SSD, and the content isn't spinning in circles, it's getting dusty in a little box.

There are actually two major articles on SSDs, both amazing and completely worth reading.
