Making your own SSD drives

[Anonymous]

....has anyone here done it?



Initially I was under the impression that a person had to spend a Lotta money like a conventional hard drive but I read somewhere it's easy and cheap to build them. Either buy a clip with a pic slot or an enclosure to hold the SSD module.



Anyways I was just wondering if anyone here tried it and how much they spent or it cost them.

Bro. Decent ssd drives for booting your OS are like a hundred bucks



If you can't afford that then you shouldn't have a computer to begin with





Boot your OS to a 500G ssd and Store you files and any write intensive apps on a secondary 7200 rpm sata and you're good to go

So you'd put windows on the SSD and Microsoft Office on the hdd sata?



Or is that Ms office on the SSD too?

your OS goes on ssd. Your pagefile and office apps and any other high write apps go on the 7200 rpm mechanical drive. If you have enough RAM you wont be doing much swapping so don't listen to the morons that tell you SSD improves performance on the pagefile. it doesn't. It only ensures you'll be on the market for a new SSD within 2 to 3 years.  



intensive writes wears down SSD drives

So the SSD doesn't need to be very big?



1 TB at most?



Thx for the information

Not even.  I run an OS drive of 256gig and I'm nowhere near used up.  And I do IT work with lots of programming and technical writing. Visio diagrams. Etc etc

Buying an SSD was the best purchase I ever made. The boot up times were unbelievably short. I dont even have a platter drive anymore other than a backup drive.
