Ssd

[jayrc]

Hi all, I've been looking at ssd drives and I'm about to pull the trigger on a 120 gb OCZ Vertex 3, just wanted to get some of your opinions as I don't know much about them, do they help with stuttering? Everyone says they're only good for initial load times but I think it might help for Clod? Thanks, Jay

S!

CoD stutters because of the code, but I like my SSD a lot! It is fast and quiet and uses considerably less power than traditional ones.

It won't solve your CloD problems but load times are better, for me at least. I have only games on my SSD. I got a really good deal on my SSD, 79€ only but I wouldn't have bought one otherwise.

so you set a raid with one SSD and one "classic" HDD...but you installed all your games onto SSD....do you have win7 there too?

Personally I just can't fit my game on but you can use this.

Be aware it can stop you from accessing and tacking tracks.

No, I put Win7 on the HDD because I want maximum performance for my games. I let my harddrive do the regular day to day stuff, load Win 7, drivers and other programs and let the SSD "concentrate" on the games. At first I had everything on the SSD but quickly realized what a waste of expensive space it takes up even if Win7 booted up super quick and was super fast. It's not so important for me that Windows boots up 10-15 seconds faster.

P.S I have only games that I consider to need the extra boost a SSD gives them, CloD, Empire Total War, A-10 etc. Games like Mafia II and the likes don't have to be on a SSD.

I'm running CoD on an ssd, and in combination with the rest of my system I have no performance issues at all except the memory leak=ctd.
Game aent even stutter with original textures.

I heard that the Crucial M4 range has received a recent firmware update that now see them challenging the Vertex for performance while coming in considerably cheaper.

You may want to check out some reviews.

Agreed. I love mine! So friggin' fast it's insane. I'm loving the 5 second boot times. Only paid $109USD at Newegg.

Also why go with a 128Gb over a 64Gb? Mine is plenty big enough. I just run my OS and Cliffs of Dover on it and have a SATA3 1Tb dump drive for all of everything else (movies, music, older games etc..). I still have more than enough room for Skyrim when it comes out. If you've got the money go for it I guess... I just can't justify paying twice as much or more for something I don't need. I put the extra $ towards a better videocard.
