Hello group
I want toknow more about the beneifits for newer solid state drives
for laptops.
if the C drive is SSDS ( Flash type) would the boot upspeed increase
dramatically if compared to the standard Disk type Hard drive.
This is my concern as I want to get a laptop with SSD drive and don't
know if the price for a laptop having that is worth it.

Aside from being shock proof( IIRC) what are the other advantages of
this so called Solid state drives versus their disk type counterpart?
t
How about durability and risk of drive failure are there already known
issues with these kind of storage facilties?
How about supposing a desktop replacement system is equipped with
three drives and one or two are SSD type, what are other benefits can
it confer. Could it still be configured to Raid 5 assuming the drives
have equal capacities?
TIA
