SSD 120 GB SATA 6.0 Gb-s2.5-Inch

hi i like to know what is the storage on these drive .
it cant be the same has a plain drive
because if you buy a plain drive 120 is no good for storage at all .
so is these drive triple the storage .
i have to know before i buy one .

Hi yvesj.

As it says in the title, the storage is only 120GB, although it is very fast when it comes to transfering files (copy+paste, etc). I don't think that it being an SSD will triple the storage.

This will increase the speed of your computer though.

Up to 500MB/s read, 475MB/s write

thank you .
so a 120 is a 120 it dont mather what you buy .
now i know that they are really fast just like the 10.000 .
but why are they all under 300 gb then or what ever .
they do not go up like 1 tb so this is why i ask .i thing it 600 gb the top

Yes, I'm unsure of that. I saw one that was 480GB, but there was not many.

I guess you would have to put in 2-3 of them seperately if you have a desktop in order to get 1TB+; but you would have a very fast computer, especially if the title is correct where it says 6gb per second.

The technology is not there yet for larger memory sizes like 750Gb or 1Tb (most likely stability--takes a long time to get it worked out for long term reliability), and of course there's quite a steep price curve once you go above a certain level (like 250Gb).

What I'm curious to know is how much space is taken up by overhead. For instance a 250Gb drive won't provide 250Gb of free space when empty... it'll be more like 235Gb. A whopping 15Gb is lost to overhead. I'd hope that the SSD's may incur less overhead.

Incidentally saying 120Gb is not good for storage at all is very subjective. Some people have 160Gb hard drives in their laptops and don't even use more than 40Gb.


I've heard of some people removing the DVD-ROM drive and installing a 2nd hard drive in its place. To play a disc, you just use an external DVD-ROM drive connected via USB. It's probably fine for DVD but I wonder if USB 2.0 can handle the throughput for blu-ray HD media.

thank for the info .
so really a 120 and above be .
well i said storage .what i mean by that webb browing but i have a lot of bookmark .maybe 300 hundred of them .
never count them .

You can buy a 512 Gb OCZ Vertex 4 SSD for around $600 US (a lot more in Canadian dollars). Just thought you should know.

The hard drive you mentioned is great if you have 6 Gb Sata connections on your motherboard. I think it would be backwards compatible with 3 Gb Sata but I don't know about 2 Gb.

this is what i order [Western Digital VelociRaptor 3.5in 250GB SATA 6Gb/s Internal Hard Drive WD2500HHTZ, 10000RPM, 64MB Cache. OEM.
now my ddr2 mobo is a 3 gb .i know it will work but do you know if be running the 10000 speed .
if not on my 3 gb ddr3 i use it on my mobo in my signature that is a 6 gb

what this mean[backwards compatible] .cant you explain it to me .
i did google buy cant not the reall answer for it

Just to add in info...... They do make a 1T ssd, but its $2100
Newegg.com - OCZ Octane OCT1-25SAT3-1T 2.5" 1TB SATA III 2Xnm Synchronous Mode Multi-Level Cell (MLC) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Backwrd compliant means the newer sata III will work just fine in the older sata II
