SSD for workstation running VMs

One more question: Would it be better to have one Intel 750 for OS + VMs or two 850 Evo's, one for OS and the other for VMs?

SSD for workstation running VMs

Hmm, the Intel one is a bit more expensive and smaller too, so I'd have to get the even more costly 800GB model. That will probably blow my budget. Another related question: is it true that the boot times of NVMe SSDs is higher than for AHCI SSDs? In particular, I think I read somewhere that...

SSD for workstation running VMs

Hi! My workstation has an i7-5820K with a motherboard that provides an M.2 slot (PCI-E 3.0 x4). I'm a software developer and plan on having some virtual machines running (database server, deployment test servers, permanent VM for running windows applications etc). I want my VMs to run as fast...

So how are you liking Win10 so far?

Anyone using a 4k monitor with Windows 10? Has the dpi-scaling issue been fixed yet?

How badly did you get hosed on your first SSD?

About $200 for a Intel x25-m 80gb in 2010, I think. Hoping we'll see 2tb drives soon, so that I can finally move my obnoxiously loud storage hdd to an external enclosure.

POLL: Desktop SSDs, Pls Vote

Well, I use one 120gb SSD as my OS drive, another 120gb SSD for virtual machines and a single 2tb WD Black HDD for data storage. I hate that HDD though, for it's very noisy. As soon as there are 2tb SSDs for the price of todays 1tb drives available, I will switch to SSD only and enjoy the silence.

Games on the PC getting dumber and dumber?

Yeah well, I guess that's true, but those were still niche products not yet adopted by the mainstream market. I think this only started to change with the introduction of PlayStation 1, but yes, consoles were probably not the only reason for the decline. The rise of the internet and the pc...

Games on the PC getting dumber and dumber?

I agree with PrincessFrosty, consoles introduced pc games to the masses. Before that, players where mostly nerds/geeks in their caves who rewarded games that had substance, complexity and longevity. The masses on the other hand, are mostly made up of casual players who are quite happy with...

Is a mechanical worth it??

I haven't really tried a decent mechanical, so I can't say for sure, but one thing that I don't like about them is their height. As most do not have a decent wrist wrest resp. none at all, your palms rest on the desk surface and so you will have to bend your wrist upwards in order to place your...
