I am on the fence about going with the 320 GB HDD or the 256 GB SDD
I never used SDD... Can someone tell me if it is REALLY faster?
Also, I read that SDD is Bad with Blu Ray and I am configuring with Blu Ray... so will that be an issue?
Also it is weird that you can not configure bluray with the 128 SDD but you CAN with the 256 SDD...
Also what is the "lifespan" of the SDD... I have seen several articles with different information... Will it last more than 3 years.. the life of most notebooks I use?
Anyway if anyone has any answers especially if the SDD is really bette r(forgetting the price issue).. Please let me know..
Appreciate your opinion!!

I wont say for others by I consider SSD to be fast. Money well put i'd say.
I'm currently running Patriot SSD + Blu ray Type Z Vaio. No issues.
SSD hasnt really been out long enough to determine life span.
If you could ask Sony USA why their Z series has SSD but not with BLu-Ray because I also want to know. Oh well SSD + Blu-Ray currently on my Type Z and its awesome haha
Finally. There are already alot of posts on SSD and Vaios. I don't think its wise to keep making new Threads. I just think less threads will make it easier for others to look for topics they need instead. -

Cheers human668 for the info. Too bad huh, I just checked the Sony JP website and they have 256SSD but still don't allow the pairing of a blu-ray drive.

I'm pretty sure Japan Sony Style does offer 1600x900, bluray burnner and 256GB SSD all together.
Are they too pricey so you don't see it?
I hope I can afford something like that after 3 years. -
Oh my bad LOL
Maybe the price did dazzle my eyes haha but yea maybe I'm too use to not seeing the option of SSD + blu-ray
Cools 256 Raid + Blu-ray. Thats pretty neat. Someone please dissect it so I can copy so I can raid my unit as well LOL -

It DOES seem there is a 256 GB/Blu Ray option on CTO on American site)...
Do MORE PEOPLE get the standard SATA Drive or the SDD....
If money was no object and you had a choice... which is BETTER??
Thanks for help -
High quality SSD IMHO is the best option. Issues are that they are not very large, comparable to mechanical hdds now, price, and quality of some lower end drivers causing some major access issues.

Seagate 7200.4 500GB is coming soon though and it's an interesting alternative. -
Dam, it may be time to upgrade...with that new 7.2k500 coming down the line

I wouldn't mind this in mine, but i have 3 year warranty which i do not want to void :-(

I go for HD now. Those SSD still super expensive.
The other Q is that it is not friendly to put it in the Z from what I have read.
320 Gb 7200 Rpm Hdd Or 256 Gb Sdd
