SSD All in one?

I think i have to buy the more expencive one, because there are all necesarry things included, that i need to put it into my pc...

I think ill buy this and this

so I presume you don't have a 2.5" slot? Those slots that were used for FDD (Floppy) drives back in the day? In that case you'd be better off with the kit. Usually you get tons of SATA cables with the mainboard so it's probably a prebuild PC?

Anyway, you can't go wrong with the kit, it comes with the needed cables and the bracket to fit the SSD into a standard HDD slot.

True, but there's no point getting a slow (comparatively) one when you could get a much better one for little more.

I disagree that it is important to have faster (level-)loading times for competitive gaming but it's good to see that you are not under the illusion that an SSD will give you a higher framerate :3

the improvement will be quite subjective when it comes to COD though. the fresh OS install without any fragmentation of the game-files will probably give you the biggest boost here.

"CoD"..."competetive". Nice joke!

Aside from that, everything loads faster on a SSD. I'd probably buy a bigger one though, 120GB are filled rather quickly. I'd atleast buy a 256GB one.

You're correct that maps load perceptively faster. Actual gameplay is nigh identical though.

You'll really notice it when you're just using your machine normally. After startup, the moment you see the Windows desktop, you can actually start up applications and they just pop on. Just like games, the experience is pretty typical once you get into the application, but short load times are much nicer than they sound.

And I also have to disagree here. It all depends on how you use your drives. If you turn your PC on and of quite a few times a day a normal HDD will never reach a long lifetime. the strain and mechanical wear from spinning up and stopping will make sure of that.

And on the SSDs side it depends on how much data you read and write. The lifetime of an SSD is not calculated in hours but in write-cycles. SLC drives have an estimated 100.000 write-cycles while MLC are somewhere around 3.000-5.000 cycles. If you are a very high end user (usually only applies to enterprise) than it is actually possible to burn through an SSD somewhat rapidly.

maybe i had bad luck, but OCZ exchanges it for free (i only have to pay the mail fee which is about 5€),

i havent lost anything except my Windows O/S , right now i run linux till the new SSD arrives.

Not all cases have a suting slot for ssd, some still need a adaptor.

They fold 5.25" floppy disks.

Modern + Floppy doesn't sound right :D
Also, magic! :p It's quite old format, and wasn't succesfull, maybe that's why most people don't know those existed. There were too many FDD formats to remember. I think I remember there were even 2" FDDs :)
