Hi planning on getting a macbook air and was wondering whether the ssd made that much difference to the standard hd in terms of speed???
Is it worth $1000 to you to loose 20 gigs of space and gain a bit of write speed?
80gig is already not enough space, 64gig is so little it would make the things virtually useless. And without a firewire port for a decent external HD you are not looking at great solutions for external storage either.
One thing is for sure I guess. It's not worth it at the moment. The prices have to come down drastically for it to make any sense...
It's not as fast as advertised. It sure had amazingly fast seek times though, but read/write timings are not out of this world. Certainly faster than 4200rpm, but nothing like RAM. It's main USP is that there's no moving parts...*Bump*
How fast is the Solid-state drive compared to the average 4200 rpm hard drive? Can it compare to ram ?
