| SSD FTW!

SSD = Do Eeet! They are fast and now very stable. Certainly they are much more shock and Magnetic field resistant as compared to spinning disks. My issues stemmed from a shitty manufacturer that used a chipset prone to corrupting data on PCs that went to sleep, which is pretty much every PC default now. Eventually the unit would brick. I went through three of those fuckers before I gave up on it. It was still in warranty but I had no desire to go through the rigmarole again (troubleshoot, send in unit, wait for stupid email exchange to play out, wait for the replacement to arrive via slowest ground UPS possible, plug it in, re-install OS and apps, restart counter for when it will fail again). Don't buy OCZ. In fact, I believe I saw they are in pretty bad shape financially. Anyway, I picked up a Samsung SSD a year or so back and it has been rock solid. Snappy too. They are even more potent in laptops, where the HDD is even more of a bottleneck.
