[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1493283, member: 56379"] Do all the items stored on that 256 SSD REALLY need to be available 100% of the time? If not...delete the "junk"...and store the less frequently needed items externally. How often do you REALLY need to run Windows 8? If you really don't run it that often...you could get rid of the Windows 8 partition. Alternatively...you could reduce the size of your Windows 8 partition. Now you can see the drawbacks of an SSD drive. On the positive side they can be faster than a traditional hard drive...but on the downside...they are VERY expensive...and their capacities (for affordable SSD's) are comparatively small. - Nick [/QUOTE]
