Are you running an SSD system?

I thought it may be interesting to see how many users here have SSDs in their main system, or are planning to upgrade to them soon.

I've added a poll to the thread with a few options .

My current system still uses 500GB mechanical drives, but in a couple of years time the plan is to upgrade to an SSD system when the price drops a little more.

Meh. I'm gonna buy a 64GB SSD next time I build a rig, but I'll keep a Samsung 2TB SpinPoint for actual storage. I mean, I'm allready really amazed with my current HDD, that can delete 1GB in less than a second. And I mean really delete, not just moving to the recye bin.

Wow. An SSD would really be amazing!

Hey guys whats the max size of SSD available in the market???

Around 512 I think, on the Mac Pro.
Other than that - I dunno. Never heard of more than 256.

Here are a couple of 500GB SSD, only about $1200-$1500 !!!

TSSS - Anybody who needs 1TB and hasd 3000$ to spare:

That price would get 10 SSD drives at half the capacity. I think if I had that amount of money to spend on SSD's, I would get 10 SSD's for 5TB capacity in total.

Um... How the hell are you going to fit 10SSDs in a rig

I plan on getting a Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Deluxe 60 GB SSD by the end of this year. These puppies really rock and get 4 or 5 star reviews on every site I've seen.

I can dream right, after all actually purchasing them is a dream in itself.

Seriously though a 1TB SSD would not be needed by the average person regardless of price. Those who would find a need in such an SSD, would have money for the device. They would simply need to convince their selves to spend it.
