1TB SSDs are reaching under $500, it's time to buy one and replace the last spinning disk in my house.

echinopsis posted:ssds are fast not because flash is an inherently faster mechanism than magentic drives but because of the level of parallelisation available seek time is the real killer for hard drives. moving the heads to the right area of the disk and spinning the platter to the right position is incredibly slow. SSDs eliminate this. for general computing this is much more significant than data throughput.
