That really bites. With so much new tech going into the Sandy Bridge chips, it's a shame they had an issue. Years ago I knew someone that had one of the Pentiums with the math problem. It's shocking that a company the size of Intel gets bit like this now and then.Quote:

the downside of the drive is something that i have heard but not verified is that the drive will slow down over time due to some memory issue or something.
60GB? Is it the 90s? :eek:
Dude, your time spacing is warped....In the very late 90's, 2 GB was considered more than max.Quote:

SSD is Solid State Drive...no disk like a conventional HD.
Was going to get a 500GB SSD , but did not have the $1600
the 120GB drives are going down in price, as when I bought my 60GB, they were running around $300 plus
but it is very fast when you get a proper SSD (some are not so good) and mount it with the sata connection in place of the conventional HD. Speeds up the entire system
Unless you are a serious gamer, 30GB is about all you need for programs, and that leaves the other 30GB for storage of the stuff you use all the time, plus use a conventional HD for the rest
Have a friend who did it with his older laptop primarily to avoid having data lost when traveling, (as they are far more shock resistant than a conventional), and he just bought a brand new Toshiba with the latest "Sandy Bridge" intell chip and conventional HD....says the old laptop, still out runs his new one, and he will be putting a 120GB SSD in place on the new one to even the playing field
