[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

You should get Intel, Kingston, or Corsair instead. PNY might be okay, but these three are sort of the big guns for solid state.

I'm not looking for massive transfer rates, just an SSD that is cheap, reliable, and at least 200 GB.
My current main drive is a WD Green 250GB from 2010. It takes my computer about 3 minutes to start up and is the oldest and slowest thing in my computer.

Please tell me you're joking.

I know this feeling, I have a 1TB HDD from 2010 and it takes me ~5 minutes to start up.

It might be that I haven't defragmented the disks in a while, doing that now.

Really?!

Holy stuff, I'm using a 200GB IDE drive to start up and it strats up in ~1 minute!

I took this screenshot yesterday.


while everyone was showing off how many windows they have open

Well as you can see in the bottom right, I had internet issues. Doing this actually overloaded my modem, crashing it and wiping the memory. I had to wait until tomorrow (today) to call customer support and get my PPP username and password again.

my old WD took 20 seconds. My new SSD takes ten.

EDIT: whoops double post.

Well, we're comparing a drive from 2005 with a drive from 2013-2015 and logically, the newer drive should be faster.

I have a ~2010 WD Blue 500GB laptop hard drive in my Linux desktop here. It takes about 15-20 seconds to boot to desktop. My Mac has a Kingston HyperX SSD (one of the ones people use for 4K+ cameras), and it takes about the same time. Boot speed has a lot more to do with OS and startup software load than the hard drive. Before buying an SSD, consider removing all your startup junk and clearing your desktop of files and shortcuts.

Thanks, but I've just recently found out that i can't use a low profile card. It won't fit.
I need a small form factor card, and this is all I could find that's a decent price.
Note that I don't have any space to add more ports or ventilation out to the side of the card, like you see in the card flush posted.

All according to plan.
