Should You Upgrade? From A Hard Drive To An SSD
Should you buy a new processor for your next machine? How about a new graphics card? Have you given any thought to the status of your storage subsystem? We're making a case for incorporating solid-state technology the next time you're upgrade-shopping.
Benchmark Results: SYSmark 2012
SYSmark 2012 is a benchmark that puts an emphasis on high system loads. With the departure of major contributors like AMD and Nvidia, you won't see us using this one very often. However, it does serve to make a particular point here.
The benchmark focuses on the performance of the system during specific computational work. In other words, if you're processor-bound, switching to an SSD isn't going to help you out at all. These are the types of benchmarks that make it difficult to understand why an SSD is worthwhile; they're meant to isolate other subsystems, after all.
