Ssd Solid State Drives In Chiang Mai

[julesdick]

Been recommended by my trusted techy mate to swap out my laptop's HDD for an SSD. Anyone done this in CM and can recommend a shop?

thanks

Inside Computer City on the North side of the moat - near KSK.

High capacity SSDs are not cheap (10 - 15k baht) and unless you have a specific requirement for fast read & low seek times the improvement is not worth it. For the casual user I would say it's not. YMMV.

Thanks. Yes, reading further into it there are clearly pros and cons.

Sawasdee Khrup, Khun Julesdick,

You might want to check Tomshardware.com which is reviewing price and performance of SSD's regularly: for example: [^] ... also, Anandtech.com which reviews new model SSD's just as soon as they come on the market, and has some real technical depth to their analyses.

If you are a PC user, the next generation Z68 motherboards will support SSD caching in an interesting way. Our take, for what it's worth, is that by later this fall, SSD's will begin to hit the cost-benefit "sweet spot." Meanwhile, the cost of 1~2 Terabyte hard drives with S-ATA 6, and 32~64 megs of cache ram keeps ... falling nicely.

best, ~o:37;
