It's amazing. If you're contemplating getting a new machine, you can probably get by with adding an SSD. They're incredible.
- gacba 15y agoWhat's your experience with the Atwood Failure Rate for SSDs?
- jfoutz 15y agoI must resist the temptation to say something untoward about Atwood. There is no question he is smart and hard working. I think i'll limit my commentary wrt coding horror to "The plural of anecdote is not data". Further, does it matter? How much data will you lose if your HD dies now? Perhaps you should log off HN and revisit your backup strategy.
- gacba 15y agoSomeone related to me recently that there are very few manufacturers and Atwood's were probably from a single (less reliable) one, because they used <insert other more reliable one here> and they had better luck. Wish I had written it down...
- andrewcooke 15y agoyup. was going to replace my aging x60. tried out an ssd and it's rocking like new. [this is for personal work - python apps, web pages etc - for "real work" where i often need to run several vms, i have a nice little shoe-box-sized "desktop" with sub-100W amd 6 core, 2.5" raid + ssd, etc]
