Hi everyone
Thanks so much for viewing my query guys and once again I'd be extremely grateful if you could please provide me with some help on this predicament.
Essentially, my query relates to these articles on the Web which say that solid state drives have the disadvantage that they begin to deteriorate performance wise over time compared to hard disk drives.
I'm currently building a new system mainly for gaming but also to watch films, listen to music, do some programming work, use Excel, Access and Word. I currently have loads of movie and animation files sorted on my system since 2005 so that's why I'm thinking SSD would for the bill nicely mainly for loading times. I'll work with images now and then (only Paint and Microsoft Picture Manager - no photoshopping). That's pretty much it.
The reasons why I'm going with solid state and not disk is because I know they are amazing at boot start ups (on Windows 7 I know they would be amazingly fast) and the fact that there's no noise. I also know that there's very little defragmenting involved. I just find hard disks to be a pain to work with now. I built me previous system in 2009 using a WD 7200rpm drive and over time, it has slowed down so nightmarishly, it can take 10 mins for my pc to load up.
Considering the above guys, would solid state still be a disadvantage compared to hard disk??
Again I'd be very grateful for any advice you can offer to this predicament.
Cheers
