Yeah, I'm still waiting for the price per GB to drop further before switching.

Half my rig is SSD, half my rig is standard HDD.
It's not like a massive swap but it does render a big improvement in general load and boot times for windows and such. You really don't need your whole system on it.

do what I did, have a SSD for your OS and then offload everything else onto your HDD. Massive upgrade.
I have HDD for bulk storage, a SSD for pure OS, and a SSD for games that would benefit from it. Cheaper and more effective this way.
fuck I just bought one like a month ago
I was even thinking that I should wait for it to go on sale
The 250GB for $84 is a good deal just for an OS drive. The 1TB is also 43% off but its still pretty steep for a drive.
Shame their M.2 drives aren't on sale
fuck, i want that 4 tb ssd so much

Get yourself a SAS controller and this [url=https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Samsung-PM1633a-MZILS15THMLS-solid-state-drive-15.36-TB-SAS-12Gb-s/4079174.aspx]16TB SSD[/url].
You may want to look into taking out a mortgage on this one.
Not too bad, but still a bit pricey. Waitin' on a 1TB SSD to come down to that price before I jump aboard. Gonna need it, my Steam install alone would fill a 500gb SSD, and it's not the only source of games I have that would benefit.
still nice to see the price declining. I still remember when a 125gb SSD costed this much.

When SSD's first came out I set the bar at 10 cents per gigabyte, which at the time was pretty much where the typical average joe 1TB platter drive was.[QUOTE=J!NX;52950223]do what I did, have a SSD for your OS and then offload everything else onto your HDD. Massive upgrade.

Wasted your money buying Windows an SSD. It runs fine off a decent...not even high end, just decent...platter drive. Could have put that money into a bigger game SSD or more ram or something else, instead of squandering it on a program that doesn't really need it.

Hell, if you go big enough it's down to less than $20 per TB for HD's.
