    because of noise.

    some months ago I got 2 sata 400gb and put them in mirrored raid. now my pc is useless to watch movies at night in my small room...

    today i got me burning a dvd to watch some crap on the living room. so, while the dvd burned i just ordered the cheapest SSD i could find that can handle a ubuntu install, and a sata board. I'm moving the 400gb HDs to the server far away and putting the SSD on the desktop.

    hell i'm telling anecdotes here instead of trolling... need to review life.
