I have a laptop with a small 250 GB SSD as it's main drive and also a regular HDD 1 TB. When I extract something from the main drive to itself the speeds are slow like 28 mb/sec, but when I extract from SSD to the regular HDD which is supposed to be slower, and I thought it was slower to extract to another drive I get around 100 mb/sec. Can't make sense of it.

Archive unpacking relies on your CPU more than the I/O of the disk. When extracting on your OS drive, you have to figure in the CPU load coming from everything else, as well as the OS itself. The type of archive being unpacked comes into play, too, because higher compression algorithms will have higher CPU load.

    But I'd have to say that Airheads are one of my favorites, especially when they've been warmed up a little in the hands.

    @Jayro, Agreed. I like them.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Skittles get into your teeth, they have the same boring flavour.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Only the colours tell your brain what flavour it should be, it triggers a sense response.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @Jayro Starburst and airheads are good but the way starbursts are wrapped...
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Eat them along with the wrappers. Saves your finger nails lol.

    At this point I don't eat candy much and I may just cut it out entirely. Although starbursts, airheads, and skittles all taste good to me.
