So tiny!
My C: drive: An SSD: Crucial M500 240GB M.2: $123.99 from SuperBiiz. Look how small this harddrive is! Motherboards now have a special faster-than-SATA slot for SSD harddrives. Woo! Other stats: NAND Flash: 20nm Micron MLC / Read Rate Up to 500MB/s / Write Rate: Up to 250MB/s / Random Read (4k): Up to 72,000IOPS / Random Write (4k): Up to 60,000IOPS / MTBF: 1,200,000 hours.

BACKSTORY: Building my new computer! We decided to name it Thailog. Thailog ("Goliath" spelled backwards) is the evil twin of Goliath from the cartoon Gargoyles. Carolyn's computer is named after Goliath, so it just makes sense that Clint's computer is the evil twin of Carolyn's computer. A quick summary of the computer's specs is: Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3GHz with an Arctic Freezer I30 cooler on a ASRock X99 WS EATX motherboard with 24G of Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 2400mHz RAM, a Radeon R9 270 video card, and a Crucial M500 240GB M.2 SSD...all inside a massive NZXT Phantom 820 case. It was a $1560 build, summarized on my blog at clintjcl.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/journal-hardware-purcha...
