SSD upgrade guide: SA prices, sizes

Face it, your hard drive – all 7200rpm of it – is getting a bit long in the tooth. It’s time to go Solid State

Once you go SSD, you never go back!!

This is exactly what I need, I'm getting an SSD this month!

I'm looking at the Crucial MX100 256gb for R1,561 from Rebeltech

I really want one but still not willing to fork out that much.
Stingy I know. But that 256 for R1500 don't sound like a bad idea. Maybe end of the year.

I recently installed a Samsung 128GB SSD in my work PC. The difference in performance is incredible. It is a fresh install, so that'll help as well, but it has made my old clunker nice and snappy. I'm loving it so far. Had to boot onto my old drive the other day, and it was so painful waiting for the machine again, I should have done this ages ago. And it's cheaper than buying a whole new machine.

Yep, also got a Samsung in my office PC recently, and a OCZ in my laptop. They make a HUGE difference. Next, I need to get one for my home pc...

I'm in the same boat. Now, even the 60Gb on special from Esquire looks tempting!
