Sounds good. If experience of defragmentation already means one must be old, then I must be an ancient mummy already.

Cant wait for a 2TB in the $300 range

Looking forward to 2TB in the $100 range, myself...;)

I can't even count number of hours spent looking at those squares moving around while reading. And when Windows 98 came... 1st thing I did was to enable compression. Then I realized it makes things much slower. So as 1st thing I decided to defrag, since reduced physical occupation should have created kind of fragmentation. That took ages. And it did not help at all. So I admitted that drive compression with iP 133 @180MHz is bad idea. And decompressed entire thing again to run another defrag. Those were funny times, and situations like that gave me a lot of time to read or watch TV. Real TV. I did not watch real TV broadcast for over 18 years. It was funny surprise when back in the day I wanted to connect TV to PC and realized that it was dead. It must have been dead for years, just catching dust while turned off.

Right, I'm 25 years old and I remember doing that **** to speed my PC up when I was a kid. I also remember getting a really satisfied feeling seeing all those blocks move from completely deorganized to, well, somewhat organized.

iP 133 @180MHz

What? How did you OC that one? I never managed to OC mine...486 were easy though.

How soon can SSDs using the newer version of the protocol realistically start appearing on the market?
