Shit bait.

SSDs are nothing more than a /g/ meme. No one seriously uses them in industry because of the extremely limited number of writes. Also they cost a fuck ton more per gigabyte, and do not have the capacity to hold the entire operating system and applications for a modern computer workstation. The speeds are barely faster than 10000 rpm drives, especially when you consider the fact that most of your hard drive accesses are going through RAM caches anyway, you aren't going to hit the actual disk every time. The only thing SSDs have is *slightly* faster bootup times. But bootup is less than 1% of computer use time, so it's not really a metric worth optimizing for. Just hibernate your PC instead of shutting it off, or grow some pateince and wait the 10 extra seconds to boot up with a normal hard drive.

>>57852418
>uh no I assumed windows would take care of that on boot, like how it formats USBs when you insert them.
What? This happens only if your flash drives are corrupted. And even then it's not guaranteed that it'll actually be able to format them.

Troll thread but in college I once had a friend who bought a new hard drive and didn't know why it wasn't working. She had opened her computer case and put the drive in a bay and didn't connect it to anything. No it was not some sort of fancy plug and play case. She thought the act of putting it in the case would make it work.

Personally I've yet to get a SSD and while if/when prices are really great I'll prob bite the bullet eventually but not having one hasn't really taken that much away from my enjoyment of my computer for the 5 years I've had it. The computer usually stays on so the boot up issue is virtually non existent and program load time also isn't the hugest of issues. Not to put SSD's down I'm just saying the disadvantages of not having one aren't that bad that you can't really wait unless I guess you are used to SSD and had to revert back.

I didn't think it was on the motherboard I'm not that stupid, I just thought boot prompt had windows associated with it since when you switch motherboard windows needs to be reinstalled.
So switching drives would be like switching discs when installing a program.

I bought a ~60gb ssd for a decent price about 5 years ago and it made my boot time way faster but when I install something that needs processing power to it the program runs like shit. Small stuff like media players or web browsers work fine off the ssd but Photoshop or any games with 3D cause massive system lag and frame drops (they work fine installed on my hdd). Any ideas?

every drive has to be formatted to the correct file format before an OS can use it retard

Hey guys I know this is a bait thread but I have an actual SSD question.

OK so I bought an SSD on Cyber Monday, the 1tb Samsung evo 850 for 250 bux, not a bad deal.

I have done the following.

Installed the SSD, only have sata 2 cables, my mini is trash and I'm getting a new one soonish so whatever

I turned it in on computer manager

I went to my bios and changed it to ahci

I went to my bios and made it the bootup priority.


OK so now I just need to get winblows on this thing, this is where I am not sure how to continue. See my HDD has 1tb of garbage and God knows what on it mixed with my good shit, I just want that to stay as my storage drive. I want my SSD to be pure and clean of that corruption.

How do I transfer my windows 7 from my HDD onto my SSD without bringing along all the trash that is also on there?

Thanks

>>57853930
Also have this question.

>>57853930
You do a fresh install of Windows.

>>57853930

Do a clean install on your SSD. Only transfer the files you need from the HDD or keep it installed for now.

I guess you moron just took out the HDD, did install any OS on your newly mounted SSD and arrived in the BIOS when booting...

>>57854135
Nope, if you install it on the SSD it doesnt change anything on the HDD, you can still access all your files on it after booting onto Windows from the SSD.

>>57854138
*didn't

>>57854135
>Wouldn't that prevent me from accessing my HDD?

Not as long as you don't format the HDD in the process.

>>57854154
OK this brings me to my second question, which may be a dumb one... But how do I get my windows 7 installed on my SSD?

I don't have install disks or anything I did a download like 6 years ago lol. Is there an executable somewhere or a file I put on a flash drive / the ssd for bootup?

>>57853930
You either make a clone copy for the ssd or just install a fresh copy then copy over the shit you need and install the drivers.

>>57854135
If you're extremely worried about messing up your HDD, just remove it temporarily from the system, install Windows on your SSD, then reconnect the HDD (and delete the old Windows folders and other garbage).

>>57853930
i need to stop compulsively saving garbage, i have 1 tb hdd ful of shit too

>>57854176
If you put a bootable flash drive or a Windows disc in and launch into boot mode by pressing f8 or some key depending on your motherboard you can boot from the flash/disc, do an advanced install or whatever Windows calls it now and then you'll be able to choose what drive to install to.

>>57854189
can you just delete the windows folder and thats all? don't other secret shit like hidden files keep there?

Realising that I wouldn't get back together with my high school friends for regular movie/ drinking sessions freed up an entire external drive of 720p YIFY rips and any halfway modern internet makes downloading games trivial.

>>57854176
When you install, before you do anything else, if it's a new drive always make about a 15GB partition of the drive for OS. Then make a 2nd partition including all the rest of the drive space. Leave the OS partition empty except for the OS, if you want to upgrade to a larger AND or faster drive later, you only need to format that OS partition while the other with everything else on it remains untouched.

I learned this the hard way.

If your SSD is larger than your HDD (A):
1. put your fucking HDD inside your computer
2. plug your SSD as an external drive with a $15 adapter
3. lsblk, locate your root partition and your SSD
4. sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdX bs=64K conv=noerror,sync (a quick Google search could've given you this Archwiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/disk_cloning):
5. turn off your computer
6. remove your HDD and put your SSD inside instead
7. boot

If your HDD is larger than your SSD (B):
1. check on Gparted you can resize your partition to smaller than your SSD's capacity (check the SSD's size against your partition by plugging it in)
2. if your partition can be resized to smaller than your SSD: do it, then do the A steps above, in the order
3. if your partition can't be resized to smaller than your SSD: delete files or change your SSD. You may clean your cache or stuff. If B2 occurs, do the A steps in the order. If not, give up, get a larger SSD, or install a clean OS.

SSDs are pretty much a meme because the only advantage they have over a good mechanical hard drive is a lack of moving parts. Before bitching to /g/ that your drive doesn't work, do some basic troubleshooting. Make sure that in your BIOS settings you have your old drive with an operating system installed set as the first one in the boot order. If that doesn't work, remove the drive and get a SATA to USB adapter like pic related for a dollar or two on Amazon or ebay. Hook up the SSD while your operating system is running. If you're on GNU/Linux, use GParted to format as FAT32 or ext4 for best results. On Windows, use diskpart through the command line.

>win key + r
>type "cmd.exe" and press enter
>when the prompt opens, type "diskpart" and hit enter
>click yes on the popup
>type "list disk" and hit enter
>look for drive in list
>disk0 is the c drive
>if nothing else is attached, disk1 will be the ssd
>type "select disk1" (use the number that your ssd is) and press enter
>type "clean" to wipe it then hit enter
>type "create partition primary" and hit enter
>type "format fs="FAT32" quick" for a FAT32 filesystem
>type "format fs="NTFS" quick" for an NTFS filesystem
>type "exit" to close diskpart

Congrats, your SSD should work. If not, try repeating the steps for diskpart and after you create the primary partition, mark it as active. Just Google how. I've typed up more than enough tech support instructions for tards like you today.
