Players vs Mods V

I see you've ventured outside the football thread!

What is this strange place I've ventured into...!

Hmm, I wonder if I could get instant boot-up if I got windows 8, stopped using a password, and got an SSD and loaded windows through it.

Right now the actual boot-up process to the password screen takes about 30 seconds or less, and then I type in me password and 10 or so seconds later computer is usable!

I have that in my laptop. Though I don't turn my laptop off, unless it shuts itself down. It's a slow laptop one though with an Agility 3, but the boottime to the desktop is about the same as on this PC, so near instant should be possible.

Usually takes mine around that time (though a little less), my computer is pretty decent (minus the heating issues that I need to deal with), but my harddrive, even though it has a pretty big storage amount, is very slow compared to the rest of the computer.

You've ventured into a dark and horrible cultist congregation!

I do prefer to use a password so that would add a little bit of time, but not much considering I don't allow any programs (Outside of what windows has to do)to load on start up, so after inputting the password it would just be a few seconds and then ready to go.

I went from a 5400RPM HDD to a SSD. Imagine the difference.

Indeed, what's the speed on your SSD?

The HDD I'm loading stuff off of is 7200 RPM

Eh, not sure. 40k IOPS or something.

Just found this folder, amazing stuff in it.

What HDD are you loading it off of?

This is mine:

I'm not sure, I just remember buying a cheaper one because we felt that having a good hard drive was not necessary for us. I don't even know where to go to find that out.

That's a long ass name. Might take me a bit to type that out. xD

WDC WD1002FAEX-00Y9A0 ATA Device.

That's the full name of it.

You bought one of the more expensive ones. Caviar Black is the flagship of Western Digital.
I have the WD2002FAEX 2 times in RAID0

So it's actually a good hard drive?

I'd restart my computer and see how long it takes to load up, just to see if I was right or not, but I'm too lazy.

It's a good drive for a HDD. Don't bother rebooting, it's mostly the IOPS that count then. (Input/Output Operations per Second).
A normal HDD has roughly 100-130 IOPS, current SSD's are capable of 40k+. Which basically means they can do 400x the amount of read/write operations per second than what a HDD can. That's the reason PC's boot that fast with a SSD in it.

[Decagon]

I don't get it.

It is what, 4am where you are, Joy? Maybe sleeping would be a good idea.

Impressive art.

You could go for the ioDrive Octal, costs about $100k for a 5TB SSD, but then you do have one damn fast SSD.
