The more exxy one has solid state hard drives, which are a lot faster to load shit than mechanical/normal hard drives.

I have a 128gb one in my desktop along with 2 x 1TB "normal" hard drives for media storage. You typically install the operating system and most frequently used apps/games on the solid state for faster access. Windows loads about 5-10 seconds faster etc.

SSDs also have a finite number of writes, so it's best to put things like apps on them that don't change and your data on the standard drive. But if you don't have a standard drive then it doesn't matter...

I went from an 8 year old Dell laptop to my current PC - my mind was always going to be blown with or without SSDs lol. But now that I have one, there's no going back...

I don't think it's worth $400 more for that upgrade. I only got one cause they are $130 in a desktop. You lose 512gb of space by not going for the other one, so for me it'd probably be a question of how much space I needed. Not that you can't get external hard drives but fk messing around with that.

SSD's die all the time, especially when used as an OS boot drive.

Honestly, unless you are using a computer in the field and you actually -needs- the extra few seconds ..... WTF even bother. Buy 100,000,000,999 TB's of SATA storage instead :S

Not true. HDD's actually have a higher failure rate than SSD's. I've also experienced this myself, never had to return an SSD but I've had multiple HDD's fail in the past.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
