SSD recommendation
(OP)
Hi,
Can anybody recommend a SSD say around 500Gb, I'm running NXNastran mostly linear statics sol 101 and sol701 (explicit Adina). Platform is a Dell T5400 with 24Gb of ram and 2quad cores.
I know it needs to be fast but have no experience of what to look for!
Many thanks

RE: SSD recommendation
Yes, of course!!. I run SSD with FEMAP & NX NASTRAN and .. is simply great!!. Is the best improvement you should add to your system, appart of having enough RAM memory (24 GB is not bad, but better increase as much as possible, it is critical for running NX Nastran with success!!).
Take a look to this post:

If your machine is a workstation (not a laptop) then the best improvement is to mount a RAID-0 based in SSDs, say 4 SSD of 128 GB each = 512 GB !!, to allocate the NX NASTRAN "SCRATCH" directory.
Best regards,
Blas.
