Wha... why... how... just...

Using an SSD to store downloading torrents.. just... WHY?!

Uhm because if you have internet connection faster than 100Mbps, torrenting will become very taxing on HDD, to a point they will just throttle the download speeds if you use high-speed private trackers? (To some degree it depends on client and it's settings of course, but generally if you have like 1Gbps+ torrents will get throttled no matter what if you are on HDD) But I guess it's just case of minority users, myself having 22Mbps home connection, possibly getting 120Mbps next year or so...

So... risk an expensive SSD and your data just for bragging about downloading multiGB torrents (perfect material for something that is still fairly limited in storage capacity BTW...) in a few minutes.

Well, as long as people don't bitch when it goes tits up then no harm in there I guess.

I'd rather RAID0 two 2TB-drives and use them for torrent downloads than waste enormous amounts of write cycles on the MLC NAND.

I've never had any flushing issues with uTorrent/qbBitorrent on my downloads drive which is a single WD Caviar Black. 100Mbit line is around 12.5MB/s and it works fine Smile

I have no problem on my Spinpoint F1s either, nor my cruddy old Seagate drive that Steam is installed to. If your drives can't handle 12-20MB/s sustained write then something is seriously amiss Neutral

Well that wouldn't surprise me..
But don't forget, it's not a 1 file 19MB/s it's downloading, it's all these tiny files/blocks that kinda screw it up for the HDD speed.

Yeah that causes UTorrent to just bug out if I try to download say the Mame roms and HD cache files simultaneously, QBittorent works much better but that's understandable since UTorrent has gone down a bit in quality since 3.0, 3.4 might fix some stuff but they are already on a 3.4.1 beta to fix issues with 3.4.0 heh.

yeah don't current hdd's write at at least 100mbyte/s anyways ?

Plus downloads are usually rar files, so i don't see a problem there either.

(i.e. they aren't "small", but 15-100mbyte/file)

edit : and it's not like you're going to max 100mbit or more with a torrent ^^

Oh yes you do. i max out 19MB/s on my torrents.
All depends on how proper your tracker source is.

yeah but that's still far from maxing the write speed of your hd, no ?

Anyway, i think this whole discussion is moot anyways Smile

Well first you talk about megabyte in the first sentence and the last sentence you talk about megabit.
So stick with the same values if you want to make it obvious that you didn't talk about internet speeds but still the write speeds on the HDD. Wink

So after some time with my new pc, I noticed in samsung magician that my write/month was 1TB Shocked

so I was wondering wtf was happening, and after some poking around, I found out that it was all my chrome browsing/youtube usage WOW

so now I moved Chrome temp folders on my HDD and monthly usage dropped 10 times..

Since there doesn't seem to be a thread for normal (shitty) HDD questions, I'll ask here. My 'download' HDD died, so I want to get a new one. 1TB is more than enough for me. Is the Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB the best option for 50 euros? Read/write speeds are important, but most important is silent operation. I tried to put my 8 year old 500GB in my PC, wow it was loud and it had shitty speeds (~65MB/s). It's been a loooong time since I heard that trrrtrrrtrrrtrrr sound. My old 250GB 'download' HDD was a bit faster, but it was completely silent at full operation Confused

Mister_s Maybe you should consider something from WD Blue series, or even WD Geen if you desire silence above other things.

WD Blue WD10EZEX (1TB, 64MB, SATA/600) <- looks nice

Thanks, I went for that drive. Red seems to be designed for continuous operation (in a NAS as WD puts it) and has lower rpm (though they don't seem to market it). I don't need continuous spinning, so I went for Blue.

I have that HDD, it's been serving me nicely, can't complain really. Razz It only has a 2 year warranty, but it's quiet and quite fast all things considered.

You're welcome! I hope it works well for you. (Just like for ixigia.) Smile

I bought one some time ago (although it was 500GB) for a colleague of mine. Works relatively fast and quiet without any problems.

after i've rearmed my specs into my new tower (Thermaltake Core V71), my SSD works as it should as always did

...The thing is, whenever i go to extract an usb device (like the iPod) in a "Safe way" via Windows 7 (task bar-> left click on extractable? devices,) , there it appears my SSD like if it could be able to be removable...

...That wasn't there before the change.. Have i done something wrong?..is there anything i can do to disable that just incase i accidentally click it and dunno what might happen next??,aka REMOVE THAT BUTTON.

EDIT: I think the reason is because the SATA Cables connected between the motherboard and HDD/SSD/DVD are differently placed than when my old tower was.. the "L" bent SATA cable at the HDDs fitted back then perfectly and the long slim part was plugged into the MB, but now since i can't plug the "L" shaped SATA to the HDDs due to the metal chassis of the tower,i had to plug em in a different way, and now my SSD is in the "blue" SATA6GB slot, the HDD in the "Gray" S6GB slot and the DVD in the "Light blue" SATA3 slot.. that's what i've heard as "Hot Swapping"

If i bought 3 of these cables, would they be connected the same way without any booting problems and also without cable troubles? http://www.pccomponentes.com/sharkoon_cable_certificado_sata3_6gb_s_75cm_negro.html

Thanks in advance
