Yep, I just want to support this observation - where is SPCR going with all these SSD reviews, bored from measuring noise levels?Mallee wrote:I would have thought that a review published in SilentPCreview would at least comment on noise levels. But otherwise a great review.
SSDs are a pretty big part of a truly silent rig. With a 256 GB one you can do without HDDs, assuming you have a NAS or similar external storage. Then again it might just be for the free samples...nizer wrote:Yep, I just want to support this observation - where is SPCR going with all these SSD reviews, bored from measuring noise levels?Mallee wrote:I would have thought that a review published in SilentPCreview would at least comment on noise levels.

Yes, I agree that SSDs are an important component, and the fact that reviewing them might give a free sample (we all have to live), but as a long term reader (6 years) I would just like to point out, that I come to SPCR to read reviews of vital components or noisy components (cases, coolers, fans, PSU, graphic cards, cpus, hard drives that spin) with a thoroughness with respect to heat/noise no other English site can do. Every site can review a ssd, and large sites like anandtech etc do that very well. But anandtech and others stink at making noise and heat analysis in a systematic and reliable way. And that gift isn't as needed when it comes to reviewing SSDs.Das_Saunamies wrote:SSDs are a pretty big part of a truly silent rig.

Funniest comment I read on SPRC in a while. Classic.Lawrence Lee wrote:Sorry guys, it's completely silent, like every other SSD we've tested except for the Zalman S Series.
