Why does HP suck?

[RobDownSouth]

Solid State drives are a neat idea, but they're not practical, yet, for replacing disk drives.

Each cell can sustain only a certain number of write cycles before it fails.

They're great for backups, though.

Backups? Seriously?

I use SSDs in a raid-5 configuration on a file server.

I thought of horse power and was intrigued by the title.

I know you're a moron, but holy shit could you be anymore wrong?

Show me one serious tech person who would recommend an SSD for doing backups. You don't make a drive that is made for good read/write speeds for backups. You buy low-power high density drives.

By the comment about backups I was referring to the type of memory used in SSDs and thumb drives, not SSDs per se. I'd have worded it more carefully had I known you were following me around looking for an excuse to nip at my heels.

Also the issue of how many write cycles is pretty much now gone.

It is not gone, it is the nature of the thing. Flash memory can only be used for a finite number of writes. With every erasure cycle, the resistance of an individual gate increases, which increases the amount of time it takes to erase. Eventually, the latency becomes so long that the cell becomes useless.

Stick to thing you know, like shitty music.

Maybe you should stick to what you know, like traveling to meet women who can't wait to get away from you after a couple of hours.

Uh lets not get crazy.

Macs are good, but their warranties are no better than any others. Thankfully, I can support my own parts cause I aint going to the Apple store.

HP used to be wonderful.

Now they are not so good.

Not Gateway level yet, but almost.

Pretty hard to be Gateway level. Do you remember MirrorTech drives? They did all their testing on their customers.

Gateway has the coolest boxes.

It all started going downhill with the introduction of the plastic bottle...

You missed the buildings they used to have around here.

Yes, I just follow you around looking to nip at your heels.



If someone posts something stupid, I don't care who it is, I'll say they are dumb.

Also, the lifetime of you having that SSD vs cell usage is garbage. Extensive testing has shown that.

So, is that going to be your go to burn now? Just so you know, it doesn't even sting the tiniest.

I mean it's not like I am hanging around carrying a flame for someone on here and being an enemy of anyone involved with that person....
