Solid State Drive

[Stan Gorodenski]

I am thinking of getting a new pc that will have a 128GB Solid State m.2
drive as the boot drive. Are there any problems with SPSSX running on
this kind of drive as opposed to the traditional hard drive?

I was recently working with a group of SPSS Statistics users who use it heavily and whose pc's had all been switched to SSDs.  Big speed improvements with large datasets and no problems as long as the SSD is large enough to handle your data.  Myself, being right now in the agonizing process of replacing a failing traditional drive, I would love to have an SSD.

Thanks, Jon. I didn't think it would be a problem, but one never knows
for sure.

I also use a 128Gb SSD. In hindsight I would have bought 256Gb, because I run multiple OS. Most data live on a 3TB NAS on a 1 Gigabit network. SSD is really great, and so silent!
