Title: PC hard drive question Post by: Ironside on January 02, 2015, 07:49:47 PM what size of a SSD would be required to run windows 8 and a poker HUD?
Title: Re: PC hard drive question Post by: Longines on January 02, 2015, 09:34:48 PM Could squeeze it into 64GB, 128 would be fine. Depends if it also has to store your pr0n and movies. I have 8.1, Office 2013 and a shed load of other stuff but no movies, have used half of my 256GB.
Title: Re: PC hard drive question Post by: Ironside on January 02, 2015, 09:50:36 PM yeah i was think 128gb would be the minmium
saw this on dell but only had 32gig http://www.dell.com/uk/p/xps-8700/pd?oc=cdx8718&id=382cf6a3-ebc8-4897-8104-6be577de12d6&c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1 going to have to build/design my own or wait for ssd drives to be added to more than just gaming machines Title: Re: PC hard drive question Post by: bobAlike on January 02, 2015, 10:28:01 PM Just added a 500gb SSD to my lads laptop. Cost £140. Boots up time<20 seconds compared to 90 secs with conventional hard disc.

Do you blow it all on Sunday morning, or save a month's worth for some afternoon delight?

Any action that requires writing/reading to/from the SSD is performed so much faster.

Makes such a difference. Once problem is that you can't go and make a cup of tea whilst your laptop boots up though - not enough time.
