Hi,
I have some general questions about SSD:
1. I am reading articles about them and most mention that it will give a significant boost to older computers, but if I am building a new computer with core i7, 8MB RAM, would an SSD give me any significant boost in performance (BESIDES BOOT TIME*) compared to a 7200 rpm?
2. Do SSD's offer any other advantage besides boot time and application start up time? For example, if I am working in Photoshop or After Effects, after the amazing 3 second load time, will it give me any benefit while working in the application? What about other programs?
3. Do SSD's have that issue like HDD's where the capacity is actually less when formatted? In other words, if I get a 60GB SSD will I have 60GB of usable storage or no?
4. Will 60GB be enough for Windows 7, CS4, and other applications? Internet caching, etc. etc.
Btw I am considering a Samsung F3 or a OCZ Vertex SSD as the OS drive, and 2x F3 as secondary drives.
thank you.
