http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147189 Just don't need that much will probably just run the OS on this and put data on the 750gb backup. I don't game so basically what I want is boot up time and shut down time as well as when the computer awakes. |

Yea, changed my mind already... Just going to run the 128 gb for the OS for now and keep the 750gb 7200rpm spinning platters for most of the data

They are worth it though. I HATE rebooting my work PC because it doesn't have a SSD. I'm used to <1:00 boot times at home.

FWIW I don't think doing RAID would be worth it. The performance jump from a regular drive to SSD is good enough for the majority of users.
