Only the best for you NigelI'm waiting for my Sandisk 480GB one to arrive
Only the best for you Nigel
Sandisk are the top flash manufacturers. They pioneered the technology if I remember correctly. When buying any flash products I always try Sandisk first. Often though they are twice the price so then I tend to go for Lexar.I ordered a Sandisk one because the laptop I've recently been given has one - and it seems pretty impressive.
Spec, I had similar experience with great tech chap from USA , we had a job at USAF in Scotland , he could not get used to driving on the left , and braked for every car on the other side of the road. In my car he hung on for dear life....
Hola AT ,, what's new?

I only learnt later that my driving had scared him to death. He could not understand how I could drive so fast down narrow country roads. In fact, I was not driving overly fast it's just that some Yanks are not used to narrow roads. I had a similar experience with a guy from Florida. From then on whenever I drove him anywhere I controlled my speed according to the amount of purple in his complexion.
Hola AT ,, what's new?
We heard on the radio that it would be raining the next morning so expect many accidents on the Freedom Highway. We could not understand this, but the next morning sure enough when it was raining there was accidents all over the place- nothing serious, just shunts.
Not really. It's on your SATA bus, not your USB bus . So you don't get the option to "eject" or "unmount".To the OS it is like another USB peripheric as pendrive?
When I think about upgrading performance on a computer I think of more RAM, faster processor, better graphics card, etc. But installing a SSD sped up my laptop more than I ever anticipated. I didn't even upgrade for performance reasons. I upgraded because I bring my laptop in the field and I have tens of thousands of dollars worth of software on it. It made me cringe to think of someone pulling it off its precarious perch atop an oil drum or a rolling chair or an upside down bucket... The mental image of those HDD arms slapping and banging around between my precious disks of money, scared the crap out of me. But a SSD has no moving parts. Sure my laptop might get thrashed, but at least my HDD is safe, ready to be installed in a new one. Anyway, I was blown away. My aging battery wouldn't let the laptop run more than ~45min before; now with the SSD it's got better battery life than it did new. It runs WAY faster, and cooler, and quieter. The fan rarely even comes on. Best upgrade you can do for a laptop IMO.
Comparison: HDD Vs SSD
I just knew that flash drives has limited re-write cycles like current Pendrives has around 100,000 cycles of re-write capability (approx). What about HDD? I have some prndrive currupted without any accident and I had some pendrive which became extremely slow after using few years. I think then the SSDs are not efficient till the day, are they?
