* Their ideas are a LOT like my own, & mostly I say that, because they equip them w/ SOLID-STATE DISKDRIVES...
APK
The one I use is older (PCI 2.2 bus slot used), but, there are SATA I/II units out there, & soon? A PCI-Express unit x1 slot type (fast in burst AND seek/access - perfect combo imo, & faster than what I use now, in the CENATEK RocketDrive).
These units get recognized by the system & OS as another harddisk... but, one that has UNBELIEVABLE seek/access times on it!
(1000's of times faster than std. mechanical hdd's are)
:)
Good stuff, if you can make use of them!
(There are many uses for these)
E.G.-> I put my pagefile.sys onto the 1st partition of mine!
Then, on 2nd partition?? I place:
- %comspec%
Onto its 2nd partition - for SPEED, mainly!(To not to clutter up my first Raptor X raid 0 setup w/ that data, & also to free it for other operations it does!))
* Good stuff, & it WORKS!

P.S.=> L computers COST a great deal, but they are HELLISH in design... apk
