| rhpot1991 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227550 | 19:39 |
| PennBot | Title: Newegg.com - OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G 2.5 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive SSD (at www.newegg.com) | 19:39 |
| andrew | What makes that one better? | 19:39 |
| JonathanD | it's smaller! | 19:39 |
| JonathanD | smaller is better. | 19:39 |
| rhpot1991 | I think the kingston one was slower | 19:39 |
| JonathanD | probably is. | 19:40 |
| andrew | slightly | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | how much was the kingston? | 19:40 |
| andrew | but it's over twice the size | 19:40 |
| andrew | 150 after MIR | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | this one is cheaper | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | 99 after rebate | 19:40 |
| andrew | 124 GB | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | ssd for your os | 19:40 |
| andrew | I'm planning on stuffing it into my macbook | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | then use cheap huge 2tb drives for other things | 19:40 |
| JonathanD | yeah, if I got one it'd be for my laptop | 19:40 |
| JonathanD | so I need one large drive :/ | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | andrew: ya you might want more then | 19:41 |
| JonathanD | currently have a 320 in here. | 19:41 |
| andrew | rhpot1991: more what? | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | I think my xps's is 128gb, checking | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | more space | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | gparted says 119gb so that seems about right | 19:41 |
| andrew | rhpot1991: storage space? the macbook's drive is in same neighborhood in terms of size and i"ve never had a problem | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | ubuntu + win7 is a tight fit on there | 19:42 |
| rhpot1991 | andrew: ya, 60gb would be small is what I'm saying | 19:42 |
| JonathanD | I could probably ditch my games and go mostly-ubuntu-only on this laptop... | 19:42 |
| JonathanD | And then get it on a 128GB | 19:42 |
| JonathanD | But I'd miss my games :( | 19:42 |
| rhpot1991 | I do ubuntu on mine, have win7 for starcraft (which takes up a good amount of space) and if I ever need to VPN from the road | 19:42 |
| JonathanD | I need windows for VPN and clear. | 19:43 |
| JonathanD | and also mechwarrior. | 19:43 |
| rhpot1991 | I wish my work would stop making their VPN silly | 19:43 |
| JonathanD | and that game I play with Josh. | 19:43 |
| rhpot1991 | requires IE for a toolbar, and it wont let you VPN from something with a RDP connection | 19:43 |
| rhpot1991 | so I can't hit my VM remotely and then VPN | 19:43 |
| JonathanD | VNC to your VM> | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991 | thought about it | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991 | or VNC to the host and touch it there, sounds slow though | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991 | I've only ever needed to do it once where I wasn't at the main PC, so dualbooting as a last fallback works ok | 19:44 |
| JonathanD | I'd like to see clear work on linux. | 19:45 |
| rhpot1991 | JonathanD: why exactly doesn't it? | 19:45 |
| JonathanD | I'm reasonably happy with andlinux though. | 19:45 |
| JonathanD | rhpot1991: no drivers :) | 19:45 |
| rhpot1991 | JonathanD: for the usb dongle I' | 19:45 |
| rhpot1991 | m assuming? | 19:45 |
| JonathanD | They say they'll release something. Someday. | 19:45 |
| JonathanD | Yes. | 19:45 |
| JonathanD | the wired thing works fine, of course. | 19:45 |
| JonathanD | 175GB in use. | 19:48 |
