I'm just poor man, don't be like that. (Not OP)

So, retarded? Im not that smart myself and make 14/hr still could afford one like a year and a half ago when I was making 12.

I have 8gb ram single channel and a 7200 rpm disk
What will give me more performance, an ssd or another stick of ram?

forgot to unset name

you'll be able to browse facebook more efficiently with an ssd

They won't feed into performance the same way. I'd get more RAM as it helps live performance. SSDs are great but only reduce load times (especially OS boots). I'm assuming you wouldn't want to take the time toslave your files off the HDD either.

This guy's an idiot. Programs read and write to the hard drive all the time, and can slow down with an HDD.

ssd first, second stick of ram later. dual channel makes a difference, but not always a big one for every day use. an ssd is something everyone can notice the difference in performance

this. my only machine that still loads from spinning rust now feels broken.

What's the current TB per $$ sweet spot for SSD's?

Those fucking Zoomers who can't appreciate the tech available.
Pretending everything was unbearably slow on HDDs...

Let me guess, another "turned it on one day and the BIOS won't even see it" scenario? Don't worry OP, everybody here will be happy to tell you that doesn't happen, that you're a liar, that they only go into read-only mode on failure, that you're a poorfag, that you deserve it, etc. etc. etc.

~$90 for 500gb
~$150 for 1tb
if you can get a major brand for less than that get it

>they only go into read-only mode on failure
That's the ultimate SSD bluepill.
Something that nobody has ever seen happening.

>1TB ssds cost less than $150
Where...

Where the fuck do you buy $150 1TB SSD’s??

>Something that nobody has ever seen happening.
SHOTS FIRED! You're going to have every ssdrone in the known universe come down on you now.

>nb4 they link to some paid shill tech reviewer

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw a dying SSD go read-only at 31 Flavors last night.

>less than $150

*sigh*

A 12 year old computer with a c2d paired with an SSD will make it as competent as any modern computer today, it's the single most cost-effective upgrade you can make.
Even if you have no ram, you can just increase the size of your page file and since it's on an SSD, you NEVER feel the disk thrashing like you would on spinning rust.

remember the times when you install windows and then it updates and then it barely loads anything else in the meantime like you're using pentiung 2? yeah those were the times

>He wants to make a cup every time he opens Firefox

Implying that 146.99 is not less than 150?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

>Even if you have no ram, you can just increase the size of your page file
And then the SSD shits itself after two months.

I did this for 2 years before buying more ram and nothing went to shit, SSDs don't just die anymore.

>he fell for ssd wear meme

Why OS? It makes bootup faster, but that's like once per day. How much stuff does Windows need to read from disk during normal operation?

only JavaScript will agree with you

I use OpenBSD

SSDs don't wear out. Not for decades. When they fail, they fail suddenly and catastrophically, with no obvious reason.

nothing wrong with eliminating HDD noise with a performance bump to boot
I'm looking into exclusively using SSDs for storage as soon as those become even cheaper, and they will

I've used the same SSD as a boot/system drive for 4 1/2 years.

>he likes to wait 10 seconds to start a web browser
>he likes to wait ages for any IO intensive actions to finish
I can get a 5400 RPM hard disk and make a computer boot in 13 seconds, but I'd rather get an SSD and go as low as I can. On top of that, I don't want npm to take ages to install anything, and my job involves working with lots of small files, the case where SSDs give you the best advantage.

>he fell for the >120gb ssd meme
they're good to get your os on it but apart from it it's really not that beneficial for non-work usage. 120gb ssd for your os and 2tb hdd is the patrician choice

>10 seconds to start a web browser
It's closer to 3 seconds.
Besides, it's not like I ever close the web browser.

Literally my setup: 120GB Kingston SSDNOW, 2TB WD Black.

It's close to 3 seconds on an SSD. Firefox starts in 2ish seconds for me, and it's quite slow. Software has gotten ridiculously bloated over the years. Things starting near-instantly on spinning rust are a thing of the past, you could've expected that in the 90s.

i had a 120gb ssd but i filled it up with cute anime pics so I bought a bigger one
I don't feel like building a desktop so this will have to do

>cute anime pics
Has this always been a euphemism for porn around here? Asking for a newfag friend.

works for me somehow
maybe because I use chrome instead of sjwzilla

Chromium seems to start up a little bit faster, I actually use both (chromium has great dev tools).

Why OS, though? What does the OS do with the disk outside of startup? I thought it mostly ran in the RAM.

SSDs are meme technology designed by the government to make sure you can't properly wipe your data off them. So mister FBI can boot down your door and see all your private collections.

Pagefile.

I thought I was the only one who knew this.

HOLY SHIT, THANKS user!

Except they are generally seen as reliable so your comparison is shit

Whats wrong with SSD?

OK, you wanna play it this way? I have a 14 year-old 10GB Seagate, still works fine. But I don't shout about it. Why? Because I'm not a dumb piece of shit that really believes my statistical outlier is anything other than completely and utterly useless for any discussion on (Seagate, no less) hard disk reliability. Protip: grow some brain cells - and note the SSD shills on this board make the GAyyMD vs Shitlel threads look like fucking amateurs.

I've got a 120gb ssd for the OS that I've bought like 6 years ago (130$ back then), seeing current prices I'm thinking of buying 1TB but I don't wanna start from scratch and reinstall everything, can I just copy everything from ssd1 into ssd2, change the letter of ssd2 to the letter of ssd1 and just continue with my life?
What will be the downsides of this?

>for the OS
This is the bit that will screw you up. You mentioned drive letters, which almost guarantees you're running Windows. It can be done, but there are pitfalls when just doing a straight copy.

The easiest way to go would be Disk2VHD, but you'd end up with your Windows in a single file (the same size as your old SSD, no less) sitting on your new SSD - and then there'd be some error-prone fiddling with the BCD to start it up. Better choice is to use a sector copier to write the entirety of SSD1 to SSD2, write a new disk ID to SSD2 (very important), then "extend" the Windows partition on SSD2 to fill the entire drive.

>Toshiba 120gb ssd only for Windows

The fuck you whining about ?

Amazingly enough, he's not talking about any of your SSDs, he's talking about his own.

What's the issue? They're less than 150.

>1TB for $150
Have they always been this cheap? Should I buy asap? What do you recommend for 2011 MBP?

I recommend completing your transistion, Stacy.

>macbook owners are trannies

Trannies own thinkpads, silly. It's not a new meme by any means, so I don't know how you haven't caught onto it yet.
Pic related, it's the queen of Jow Forums.

Thanks for not buying them, I'll have more for myself.

I don't buy them. I get given them. Got three of them in the cupboard right now. Reflect on that.

>new thinkpads

Wow, no wonder you hate them. There is a reason I bring my T420 to work.

Have mates in corporate, they'll sling you one everytime they bitch at the higher-ups that they need more power.

Ok, I'll copy what you told me and if I'm not sure then I'll start from scratch and reinstall everything again

It's funny how most Jow Forums threads consist of tech illiterate kids.

Use a small cheap SSD as a cache for your terabytes of cheap and slow storage. Retards.

>cache for your terabytes of cheap and slow storage
explain? much appreciated.

look up crucial mx500 1tb. Great SSD. How do you not know this in 2018?

same, feels great 512gb
2.3gbps write 3gbps read

Generally called "tiered storage" - it's a good search term to start you off.
