What are people's feelings on this for an SSD:

Toshax, the Kingston drive is a decent drive but IMHO it's too small even for a boot drive.

The Samsung 830 series are rock solid, very fast and use ALL Samsung parts no 3rd party parts at all. Samsung memory is amongst the best in the world and these 830 series SSDs get top reviews.

Here's one that is not that much more money and twice the capacity of the Kingston: http://www.cclonline.com/product/794...Drive/HDD1431/

Keep us posted!

why do you spent money on small SSD where you can get large HDD for almost the same price or lower

The point would be to use both together for the benefit that they both provide. Use an SSD for its speed and a HDD for its mass storage.

exactly, SSD for boot drive also makes windows score 7.9

I'm also wonder what people recommend in terms of graphics cards for around 200 GBP at least 1gb ram?

Because an SSD is a hell of lot faster than a hard drive, even a SATA III hard drive. Use the hard drive(s) for storage only.

If you know and authorize whatever is pushing it that hard, then it is not a problem - as long as it is properly cooled.

I run dedicated folding rigs @100% 24/7. You can control the F@H client to certain extent either through the client itself or windows. Respond to this post if you're interested. I started folding for this team again, I think we need to resurrect it some.
