HD vs SSD

[Seaside]

When you get use to work with SSD you will never want see again HDD.

Go for SSD.

I recommend Corsair Force or GT (60GB), Crucial M4 or Intel 520.

I'm using SSD 3 years now in all my machines PC's and Retro (CF Cards)

And i don't want to see again HDD.

No noise,no heat and low power consumption. Go for it. 128GB SSD for Amiga is waste of money and overkill. 30GB-32GB-50GB or 60/64GB is just fine.

A 32 GB SSD runs my machine and an entire BBS, which includes a full Aminet mirror.  I think my OS partition is 5 GB and OS4 hasn't even dented that, with the SDK installed.

Put a SSD boot drive in it if you like for the speed boosts, and throw a traditional HD in it for storage.

Perfect solution. Go for a 60/64GB for 100 euros. You will be more than OK. But i think you will not be able to take advantage of TRIM under AOS.

TRIM is a carbage collection feature for emptying/collecting garbage from the empty cells of SSD to maintain the stability and extend the life of the product. But AOS is not heavy. So not difference.

Got the 750gig in my PowerMac (running MorphOS) and its just great.

After the 4th or 5th time loading OWB it put that into the SSD-part (and all that is loaded while bootup) and now its just as fast (if not faster) as the 32GB SSD in the MacMini...

Gr8 solution. Though more expensive than one small SSD.

I have this HDD as 2nd in my ITX PC. Very fast.
