Sonic The SSD

So what is this SSD contraption? Well it's short for Solid State Drive and if you are one of my musician friends you're probably thinking "Solid state sucks. Why would you want that?" Unless you're a bass player....in which case I apologize. Anyway on to the subject at hand.

So over Christmas I purchased a SSD which I think was probably the best investment I could have made. What it does is makes anything you install on it start up ridiculously fast. Not like oh hey that was kinda fast. We're talking like Sonic the Hedgehog here. I'm able to start my computer up in 30 seconds. Tell me that's not ridiculous. Now you're probably thinking why not just use these instead of a regular hard drive on your computer? Well they are expensive as of right now. I spent around 80 bucks on 120 gigs which maybe 10 years ago was a lot of room but unfortunately that is not the case anymore.

With all that said technology has made a great leap within a short time so having these as your regular hard drive might not be far off. Hopefully I didn't bore you to much with all this technical mumbo jumbo but if you're into all this tech stuff you might find this interesting. Or not. Cut me some slack here i'm trying to be entertaining. I made a sonic joke. IT'S FUNNY GUYS. Anyway that's all for now. I leave you now with a short video of just how fast these things are.
