[QUOTE="krs, post: 1878670, member: 67742"] Well, of course the SSD will boot up faster than the spinner. But for the times that it is needed is it worth the extra money? After my main drive fails, I don't really care if the boot time on the backup is one minute or 5 minutes, I'm just happy that I have a bootable backup. Come to think of it, I can't even remember last time my internal drive failed and I needed the backup. My last few drive failures were the externals and then the electronic part, either the bridge or the on-board drive control. That's probably the reason I'm leery about the reliability of SSDs where the storage is electronic as well. [/QUOTE]
