Wow,
who could have thought! Tom’s Hardware's test results indicate that SSD
drives don't actually save you any energy. If we judge logically, they
don't have moving parts - thus they must be more power efficient. But
they're not... SSDs still consume too much power while in the idle
mode. Plus, they don't boost the performance - contrary to what we
originally thought.
We don't say that SSD's suck, they just need to be further worked on.
Just remember that SSD's don't influence performance, and consume as
much energy as a standard HDD.
