SSD === Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!

Back on June I bought a gaming laptop, before buying it I read a lot... a freaking lot about everything I could need, one thing that always popped was the need for a Solid State Disk, the laptop I bought only had a Hard Disk Drive, a 5400 rpm HDD, which I was OK with, I have been using them before, both laptops I have had used them and they didn't felt slower because of that, or that was what I thought.

When I got my laptop I felt that sometimes it would take more time than it seems it should need. Apparently on my older laptops they didn't feel slow because everything was slow in comparison, but on this one it really felt like a bottle neck.

When I ran a game it would take a few seconds and load the game, like it always does. When I closed them it would close them immediately and I would have to wait a few seconds before the system would respond normally because it had to write things on the HDD, in comparison, on my older laptops it would take more time closing the games while freeing resources. So it would seem normal to me to wait after closing something a game (or almost any program for that matter).

Since I knew I had to go back on July for Sergio's wedding I decided to buy a SSD. First, when I installed the system on it, it was very quick, like 15 or 20 minutes, while on the HDD it took me almost an hour. Booting up windows is quick as hell too, in the time it takes me to type my password, pick my mouse and click the Chrome icon it already finished, and Chrome is launched freaking quickly too. If I need to restart it is done in less than a minute, while on my other laptop it can take me up to 10 minutes before it restarts and boots up again.

So far, this has been a great investment, I would highly recommend it, and I don't think I can go back to HDD, unless it is for storing things like music or games, etc. My games are installed on the HDD (my laptop has two bays) since they don't really benefit that much from the speed of the SSD, and since it only runs the game on the HDD and everything else on the SSD it no longer feels like a bottle neck.
