Meanwhile, my NVMe devices are much, much faster than
your spinning rust archaisms.

That is quite irrelevant.
All computation is performed in cache/RAM and the attached drives,
of whatever kind, play no role. Even heavy disk I/O is always
buffered in RAM.
Thus, the gimmicky SSDs are only useful as a badge of technical
fashion, just like spoilers on a car.

Hm.. ? I have almost identical machines, one with SSD and the other with
HD, same RAM (12 gigs). The one with SSD is noticeably faster than the
other.

Only for file loading/saving. On my machines the Iron browser, which
is based on the severely bloated Chrome, takes almost 10 seconds to load
and start. With SSD this would be a lot faster.

But for program execution and computation overall, SSDs have no effect.

As I stated many times before, I do not use SSDs because the available
consumer technology is garbage. Consumer SSDs degrade very rapidly and
require technical "tricks" to give an illusion of durability.

Ironically, to keep a record of failed and useless storage bits, consumer
SSDs will incorporate a very small amount of high-grade and essentially
permanent memory cells. Only when the entire SSD is composed of such
permanent memory will I make the switch.

idiot, compiling a c/c++ with hundreds of files it's the access time
relevant, then reading writing. Having a nvme is crucial

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

you plug in the ssd and error reads; cannot find ssd.



it's unstable.
