The Novice Guide To The SSD

Welcome To The Novice Guide To the SSD!!! This isn't to say that you are a novice by any means, but rather, someone looking to learn or refresh themselves with respect to solid state drive basics. We are hoping to gradually tackle all the key issues with respect to the solid state drive and answer the questions which continue to pop up as the technology progresses.

What is a solid state drive?

Why would I want one?

Why is it so different from a hard drive?

What ssd is right for my specific use?

Where do I look for the best price?

How do I install the ssd?

Please enjoy the articles linked below and return often to find something new!

We have a New Monster Bench!!!

The SSD Review has built a new 'Monster Test Bench' that ended up being a bit more of a monster than we initially figured. Not only have we got it sailing smoothly at 4 Ghz with a gaming frame rate of 60fps, it also brings in an easy score of 17227 on the PCMark Vantage Bench Suite. The system is capable of testing any upcoming hard drives or ssds that are SATA 6Gb/s and, in fact, we have a new Crucial C300 sitting here just waiting to be tested. We threw it on for a quick sec just to confirm that the SATA 3 ports were working and it spit out a CDM sequential read score of 358MB/s. Whether you are an over clocking and monster system enthusiast or simply someone looking at putting their first system together at a great price, check it out here!
