guess you never heard of SSD- they are future..
very fast drives, as Br8kaway leaned towards.. games loads twice as fast with a SSD...

i have one for my main OS...
One for my Steams games...
and another for Origins games and direct installs..

and a 2TB Platter Drive for storage...

Now THAT looks like a deal. If you're like me, using only a desktop with mechanical/platter drives, you may not have a controller. My back up media, 1.5 TB, is used for family picutres, music, movies and por...miscellaneous stuff like resumes 'n such. That is all.
I doubt my Dell came with a SATA 3 controller, I'll have to check.

interesting.. never heard of micro-center

think i'll stick to Known-Brands for the time being..

to me, at that price for a SSD - looks like a cheap Chinese product.. always felt you get what you pay for...

but again, thats just me....

good luck...

Micro Center has been around for...sheesh, predates Windows for Workgroups?

never heard of them..

were they called something else back in the day?

UNIVAC, your ENIAC parts and supply headquarters.
Now get off my lawn.

most of these drives are backwards compatible, they just run at the slower sata2 speed.
but sata2 SSD is still faster than sata2 platter.

everyone should have an SSD by this point. at the very least for OS boot drives.

and i fail at the quote thing...but i worked 4 16hour shifts this week so get over the fail or fuck right off lol

Microcenter has been around for a while. At least in Texas and in Colorado. That SSD i linked is basically the same as an OZC Vertex. I used the previous Microcenter SSD with Sandforce controller for 2 years without any problems. The only reason I returned it was because I bought the Microcenter 2 year replacement warranty for $9. Returned the SSD at the end of the second year with no problems and upgraded to an SSD with the newer Sandforce controller and SATA III interface.
