The data on an optical disks are stored as pits and bumps, similar to a record. Not wavelengths of light. read times on optical disks are determined by RPM and data density. Also. SSDs are essentially just ram, and data is carried as an electrical signal which is the speed of light. Ram is very fast, but also very expensive relative to a HDD. I've seen ram people turn sticks of ram into a SDD and they have fine results.

Yes, but optical disks have slow read times. they're limited to much slower rpms than even the even the slowest laptop HDD. You can't even go higher than 15k rpm with with a blue ray disk because the plastic disks start shattering in the drive at that speed. Optical disks are fine for streaming multimedia, and for archival purposes, but they have relatively slow reading/writing times compared to HDDS and SDDs.

SSD's are not the future. I was just saying at this time it's pathetic. But yes, its gonna be more efficient and faster than HDD's. Just needs time. Also, SSD technology is a waste of money as optical data storage technology is already beginning to surface. Optical data storage technology stores data in wavelengths of light, now there's nothing faster than light. Solid State anything is flawed and slow, expect serous overhauls of computer hardware in the future. RAM is already at it's limit.

You'd have to take power consumption into account. Thats a very important feature for mobile computers seeing as how they run on batteries. Also SSDs aren't as vulnerable to shock as a a HDD. The technology is also quite immature and expensive. I'd give it another 3 years or so before they mature, and by that time we'll have OLED displays and laptops that run for 20 hours on a single charge.

As SSD's continue to improve so will Hard Drives. Your absolutely right, SSD's are the future for laptops due to increased battery life. But think about performance gaming PC's. Hard Drives are much more faster in write speeds and close to SSD's in read speeds, the same can't be said with SSD's. SSD's have pretty pathetic write speeds but great read speeds. And when I compare HDD's to SSD's I'm talking about high RPM HDD's, not slow 5.2K ones. With 15K RPM HDD's I laugh my ass off at SSD's.

SSD technology is pathetic, the HDD laptop is probably running a 5,200RPM HDD. A 7.2K or 10K RPM would swipe the SSD off it's ass! And that's just boot-up, SSD write times are slower than HDD's. In all these SSD vs. HDD video's company's are using older and slower Hard Drives to compare against. New Hard Drives are much faster than the older ones. SSD's have almost no advantage over traditional Hard Drives, only advantage I can see is improved reliability since there's no moving parts.

about as lame as your comment

From reading the posts i see that other people share the same interest and are looking forward to these new Solid State Drives (SSD)they will be a revolution when it comes to data storage and computer efficiently by a massive amount. |
