quote: Price vs. speed wise it's the best upgrade you can buy. Speed increase can be quite impressive. Look out for the read/write speeds and for tests. Cheaper SSDs might have very little to no edge over good 7200 RPM drives. Would look at Intel and OCZ, but I'm not up to date with current models. | |

I've been told by SSD users that its best to get one drive to fit your OS and applications on which you are using day to day, then use normal traditional hard disks for data you access here and there, movies, music, photos that sort of thing. Apparently its a night and day change in performance. | |

Hmm, the decision to get an SSD fits into a slightly bigger decision for me. Either upgrade my current PC, or buy an iMac :| | |

We have tested some SSD as OS drives in some CCTV servers, after 6 months both identical drives died within days of each other, that was 6 months solid usage 24x7. | |

SSDs are roughly £1/GB. | |

I think 120gb would be enough for your important files you don't want to lose etc. Still expensive when you compare standard hd's which dont tend to fail very often. | |

Well I don't need much space as I have a NAS drive, you can get 120GB for £120: | |

Talk to me about SSDs. Are they worth the money? Anything in particular that I should look for? |
