Want to upgrade your PC and not sure which component would make the biggest difference? Thinking about it logically, a PC is only as fast as the slowest part, and in the world of GHz frequencies and nanosecond latencies, traditional hard drives are hideously slow. A smoother, more-responsive PC experience can be had by increasing the speed of the hard drive with a newer, faster model.
Right now, solid-state drives (SSD) purport to offer that creamy-smooth experience. Prices, too, are dropping quickly, so we take a look at a high-end OCZ Summit SSD drive that has seriously speedy credentials.
