Re: buying ps3.. any tips?
One question, sometime back, I read an article regarding solid state drives and the conventional hard disk. Although SSD have higher access read times and I think write times, it behaves somewhat like a Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery. There is a certain no. of read write u can do before a particular sector or portion becoming unusable thereby reducing the available usable space on the SSD as compared to when it was brand new.
Argument is that since SSDs have no moving parts compared to a conventional hard disk, life span is better and speeds are also much higher.
Does this "Memory effect" still apply to SSDs or has the technology improved since then?
