[QUOTE="Bourbon Neat, post: 453080, member: 37727"] In addition to battery life, how about memory? I have a new opinion on memory when using solid state drives. We always went with memory upgrades to increase our system's performance when using the spinner drives. In the last build of this workstation, I used 16GB of memory coupled with a 2-ssd, raid zero. While running batch conversions the resource monitor shows very little (15%) of the 16GB of memory being used. (i7 cpu) My assumption is that the solid state drive does not require the assistance as the spinners do. Now after just receiving the new laptop and swapping in the ssd, I see no need to add to its 4GB of memory. In fact, while monitoring the resources during a batch conversion, memory usage never exceeded 50%. (i3 cpu) Does anyone using solid state drives see the same? [/QUOTE]
