Solid State Drives Worth it?

Are Solid State Drives worth it over normal Drives with Platters? Besides from the increased read-write times what else do they offer?

  5. I believe that they are indeed worth the hefty price tag. I use one in my rig, and let me tell you, it is FAST. Plus the reliability of them is unmatched.

  8. They Read/Write faster, use less power, it takes more to break them since its all chips and no moving parts.

  11. If you have patience then they're not especially useful, unless you're in the market for a gaming PC or make your living with the computer.

  18. I don't know that much about them I'm afraid. My tech friends would be more educated on the topic.

  19. It would make your computer much faster by putting your OS on an SSD, or so I've heard.

  20. I have a SSD and it totally worth the price. My computer runs faster and smoother and it's really great when using Photoshop, 3DSmax or Maya.
