Hi RetroGeneration,
oh what is an SSD? aand where can i get one please thanks
SSD means Solid State Drive and in my opinion it’s successor of old HDD.
Theoretically it’s the same as HDD because there you can install OS and all other stuff but SSD uses flash memory instead mechanical parts. On Wikipedia you can find a good article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
SSD has higher transfer rates and lower (better) access time as HDD. So depending on the applications and system, you will really get a better performance on SSD.
They are more expensive but for OS and programs only, 64GB should be enough.
There are a lot manufactures they offer SSD drives but G.Skill Falcon drives have a price-performance ratio.
