tested ssd confussed

[jukejohn]

ive got a 16gb sdd drive so tested videobox and a very noticeable speed change i hooked up a sata drive with music files
and quite impressed the drive i used is a early samsung one i bought about 2 years ago so the new ones should work even better

what im confussed about is would there be a even better result with a new one using a second standard drive with the music on
or would it be better to buy a 240gb with everything on also googled about and getting mixed infoe about using xp with ssd i have to use xp on my set up not 7 compatible

so the difference is spending £40 on a 32gb ssd or £160 on a 240gb ssd

any of you dudes clued up with ssd

ive won a 160gb ssd of ebay so what im going to do is finnish my present set up on my sata drive
which by the way is running fine and then im going to clone the drive across to the ssd and see
what difference there is

will update results in about a week

I'm also curious about this too..........mainly because i've had 5 sata drives fails on me since i started making my jukes in april this year.

Pretty embarrassing when I hire a machine out and then they call me that night to say the juke turned off and wont boot now.

well its just arived so maybe test it out later

i was wondering too, you had usb3 ports in your computer and had a 64gig flash drive would it be faster also???

[jukejohn]

hope to test it over the weekend

connected a 240gb ssd and spoton very fast using tinyxp tested on windows 7 fast but much better
with tiny xp
only one thing the eject fading as gon goes instantly to next track maybe bry/steve may want to
look at that in next update as ssd are growing very popular
but other then that brilliant even using large covers spoton
