Hello,
I was reading on a couple of forums (on another site) and people were saying that once a certain amount of data is put on a SSD, the performance begins to drop off quickly, and that if you fill it, it's basically only as fast as a mechanical drive? (ie, some people were saying this starting happening when the drive was filled to about 75% of capacity, others said 90%, etc) Is this true?
Also, what I would like to do is have my OS and system files (ie, office, a few things like that), WoW and D3 on a SSD (I know SSD doesn't increase frame rates, it just makes load times better). Am I better off getting a high quality 60 Gig drive for my OS and program files, and then getting a second drive to put a few games on? Or is getting one drive for everything ok?
This weekend I can get an Intel 520 series 120 Gig drive for $158 Cdn, which is very tempting, but if I put about 100 to 110 gigs on there between my OS, program files, WoW and D3, and it's as slow as my HDD, I don't see the point...
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!
