[AccessD] apocalypse someday...

Hi Bill

We mount all workstations (except some old running WinXP), laptops, and servers (boot drives) with SSDs. Performance is outstanding - users actually experience an improvement and - combined with 24" or 27" monitors - it makes users happy. In addition, you save some power.

However, we only use the fastest which happened to be Intel 520 and its successor.

Speaking of moving forwards.

Does any geeky guy/gal want to weigh in on whether SSDs are worth the
humongous price per gb difference versus standard (spinning platter) HDDs?

I think that this is may be one area where the speed/durability gap between
laptop and desktop is levelled.

My only reason besides cost for not switching over is I don't want to go
through more re - installs of my "everything". But if I find out for sure I
can upgrade without installing everything (and fr--no Dell won't give me
any coaching because "Our policy at Dell forbids us from talking about
data." Excuse me, you are a tech company and that involves data, right
hmmm? Fuhgettaboudit.
