They call me Flash…
OCZ Vertex 120gb SSD
Yes that is one of the nicknames I have gotten in the past year when working with my partners on WooThemes… part because I designed a theme called Flash News, but also because I don’t hang around to answer e-mails, support and comment on stuff on BaseCamp.
Now I’ve added to my name and bought a piece of kit for my PC that is just sooooo fast; A 120gb OCZ SSD (Solid State Drive), which I’ve installed the latest beta of Windows 7. It is expensive compared to normal hard drives (roughly $700 at this time for 120gb), but the speed difference on overall system performance is so good, that it beats buying a new up-to-date computer.
Check out how fast Win 7 loads and how fast I simultaneously start Firefox, Thunderbird, Dreamweaver and Photoshop… This would have taken me over 2 minutes before, and the disk would probably still be loading stuff after they all started.
For all you freelancers who sit every day in front of the computer… go buy one! You can do all your tasks so much quicker, that you can take half the week off
