Braidwood killing SSDs? Bollocks.
- puredemo 17y agoI wish it wasn't so hard to find lower cost laptops with SSD. It seems like they are all over $1500 still.
- lsc 17y agomost SSDs are the standard 2.5" form factor and have the standard sata interface. I just bought a ssd and swapped out the hard drive. (In fact, the drive is still in the garage; it has the windows install the laptop came with, so I can use it to, for example, activate my 3g modem. The modem works fine under Linux, it just needs to be activated.)
- lsc 17y agoWhatever happened to 'hybrid' hard drives? it seems like you could get a big win if the drive reorders writes in the cache, but it sounds like hybrid drives were mostly a flop.
