Every single
component in the modern PC has had radical improve-ment in performance.
Processors in a single year had breath-taking improvement, right now running
eight cores and topping 4.7GHz, graphics cards are capable of playing heavily
post-process game engines at break-neck speeds and crazy-high resolutions and
memory is lightning fast at massive capacities. In fact, the only part that has
not see such performance increase is the humble storage devices.
When it comes to
performance, the traditional rotational hard disk has it limit. Hard disk
maximum data transfer speed could not help. Even the fastest hard disk drive spinning at 10,000rpm still does not
offer much of an improvement over the standard 7,200rpm drives. The path of
progress then has hit some serious roadwork, today we now witness the birth of
solid-state drives.
My first encounter with
SSDs on an article capture my mind, it feels though nothing has ever been said
because it was still a lab experiment. Expert believe SSDs
is a must-have piece of technology to complement the speed of processor and
memory in a PC. Although SSDs is still very expensive as compare to the
traditional hard drives. The biggest available size is 512GB.
