[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1241283, member: 184879"] I mean illusion in the sense that you are reading and writing to disk faster, and so the computer feels physically faster, apps will open much quicker and the computer in general will be quicker to respond, but the CPU is still the same, so any strenuous processor tasks will take just as long as they did before, with the same limitations (i.e CPU overloads in Logic.) using an SSD as your internal for essential audio projects lessens the likelihood of encountering a Disk overload error in Logic (you know the ones that stop your session midflow). With an SSD you wont see that unless you max out bandwidth. think about it. at the minute, your Hard Disk has to read all that data on a magnetic disk, and the reader has to move around to find where each little bit of Audio file is on that disk. with flash, you don't have moving parts. much, much quicker. as for OCZ failures. You will hear many horror stories on the internet. Just because one person has it happen to them, doenst mean it will happen to you. you shouldn't have to worry about the firmware of your drive at all. Many people on this forum are running OCZ SSDs in their systems with zero problems. If you do have a problem, You can return it and get a new one (but I doubt you will have to.) They are a leading manufacturer of SSDs and are highly regarded by Reviewers and users as one of the best brands to go for. [/QUOTE]
