Quinn Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 hahahaa aight thanks a ton guys. I think I'll get that ssd and load my OS on it. But first I need to get an external hdd to back up my stuff before I risk losing EVERYTHING. Thanks a ton guys. The only downside i can see to a ssd is the price now. Would it be theoretically possible to use part of a ssd as ram? Cuz that would be tight to have 40 GBs of RAM haha The closest you could get would be to put a really, really big page file on it. Other than that, no.
Randomrocket Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Posted March 29, 2011 lol aight. I just thought it would be funny to have a huge amount of RAM Thanks a ton man.
matty0 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 btw, jokes aside... making that into ram (even something like 2gb of it) is a BAAAAAAAAD idea! hard drives can be used as ram, but were not meant to be. let things operate as god intended

Constant Read/Write isn't good for any Hard drive/SSD.
matty0 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Constant Read/Write isn't good for any Hard drive/SSD.see this is why me and quinn are mates haha. once again, he's bang on. hard drives are designed to retain data. to have it writen and then stay there for as long as you could possibly need it. whereas ram is designed to load then unload no data retention at all. in theory, you could make your hdd act as ram... but as quinn says, you'd get read/write errors leading to a drive that dosent store data propperly. usless. also, you could in theory make ram act as a hard drive (see the macbook air) this has HUGE advantages as ram is fast as hell. but, it comes at a price... a price that those of us mortals couldnt bear to pay. so i hope this answers that question
