    An SSD should be the boot, System and page file drive and nothing else. But the page file and boot might decrease the life of the SSD.

    In defence of SSDs, it is the most effective way to improve performance on a 2+ year old rig.

    That 60Gb might be a bit small for Win7's liking though.

    O yeah, just got confirmation from TakeALot that I will have my pre-order in my hands on launch day.
    One week BABY!!!
    I have been using SSDs for quite a while now. I have had 2x intel SSDs in Raid0 for a long time. It really helps a lot. I am using the new SATA3 drive for the Boot drive and using the 80GB Raid for games. Games load crazy fast. The 60GB is big enough for Win7 64bit have about 30GB space left. I have had no problems with SSDs. Awesome performance addition.

    HAHA. All my data that is worth losing is saved on my server as well as on a normal drive on my machine. There is nothing but the os and some programs on my Corsair SSD and there are nothing but Games one the Raid0 drives. So if i need to format for some or other reason it is just so easy. I don't have to move documents etc. which can be a pain. Touch wood i have not had a problem so far so i am a very big fan of SSDs. The fact that the Corsair SSD runs at 550MB/s just rocks. Everything is just so so quick. Boots in like 10sec after the post.

The rest of the machine was somewhat older, and since I had some cash left over after my holidays, I decided to renew the foundations with something really kick-ass. So far I'm happy.
