SSD 120GB
Well just bought 1 after my 60GB ssd is just too small, ive tried for over a year to live with 60 but it really just isnt big enough even with 4TB of old school spinners alongside it, they just slowly fill up
so ive read reviews and read reviews and OCZ always seemd to win but i didnt want to fork out that much, also the firmwares on the OCZs seem to get slated
so i got a Corsair Force 3 which is As fast if you have Sata 3 it does 550MB, i dont so i bottlekneck at 245 ish.
but i have to say its very quick even at that alot faster than my old GSKILLS ripjaw.
and only 127 quid

well until you use one youll never know
I have also tried going back to 1 drive like yours and even 2 drives raid 0 but i come back to SSD, boot times are faster but thats not where i like them, i couldnt careless for that, where it does work is when you login, and the time it takes for you to actually be able to do anything , i call it the warmup, as your disk gets fuller that time gets longer and longer, the icons take longer to stablize etc, its hard for me to explain, but try one youll notice it, things just work quicker with them pretty good experience. Ot impressed me and i was sat with you on that fence up until a year ago.

I switched over to an OCZ Vertex 2E in February and it was the best upgrade I've ever made. I was initially dubious about the gains I'd see and initially had some issues with the drive not being recognised in the bios (it had panic locked itself and needed to be RMA'd) but was blown away bu the performance.
It needs a bit of careful disk space management, since it's only 60Gb, but it's well worth it. Will upgrade to something bigger and faster when I upgrade my mobo in the future.

The 500GB ssd in my mbpro is coming up to 2 years old now and is still fast as ****, I'd never get a pc or mac without an ssd now.
