I heard some people say theyre the same thing, but others are adamant that they have different meanings. Which is it?

    I remember when SSDs were still new, trying to install one on an older system and in the process the system needing to know the “number of sectors on the disk” which… SSDs don’t have sectors. It was a confusing thing to get through at the time, but I recall figuring it out.

      And you had to get the partition aligned (?) when you formatted it. I had a 120GB OCZ Agility I paid like $380 for. It was amazing loading in way before everyone in games, I remember always being first in my WoW clan raids. Left 4 Dead 2 also ripped on that SSD. It died within a year and the RMA replacement died within year as well. RIP

              Absolutely. I never really thought much of OCZ to begin with, and sure it was a very early SSD, but damn. It crapped out way early the first time, at least in terms of I/O, and the second time it died it was just outside of RMA eligibility. Never again.
