Second that Ian and i see SSD prices dropping every other monthI'm looking forward to the day we don't need mechanical drives anymore
Offering your system the incredible performance of flash-based technology, the OCZ Vertex Series delivers the performance and reliability of SSDs at less price per gigabyte than other high speed offerings currently on the market. The OCZ Vertex Series is the result of all the latest breakthroughs in SSD technology, including new architecture and controller design, blazing 250MB/sec read and 180MB/sec write speeds and featuring 64MB onboard cache. The OCZ Vertex drives feature a durable yet lightweight alloy housing, and because OCZ SSDs have no moving parts, the drives are more rugged than traditional hard drives. Designed for ultimate reliability, Vertex Series SSDs have an excellent 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) ensuring peace of mind over the long term.
Exactly my point. An SSD is as valuable with programs as it is for the OS files, half of the advantages to having an SSD are given up to crunch the OS into one and keep the program files on a regular hard drive. Especially if the SSD lacks room to handle temporary files from disk intensive programs, which means regular programs will only load and run as fast as the hard drive allows. I do agree that basic data storage should be left up to a secondary system hard drive.Pfft. I run Windows 7 on a 20GB partition. Just be a good user and don't install anything but the essentials to C:, and you'll be fine.
