I've had most types of hardware over the years but never had an SSD. Considering changing over now but unsure if worth the cost. Would be going with a 1 TB drive, either Samsung, Mushkin, or SanDisk. I have various software that should be able to do the move already so that part shouldn't be an issue.
What are the ups and downs? Is it worth $300?
In my opinion yes, a SSD is a major improvement. Apps and such are faster loading. I know no downs for having a SSD.
I would go with Samsung, one decent deal here, good seller
Does your computer have the possibility of installing 2 hard drives?
If so, a good compromise is to install the OS and applications to a smaller SSD and use a larger conventional drive for your data. This provides most of the advantages of an SSD at a lower cost.
Yea, currently have 5 (but 2 are external). What size drive would I need for just the OS?Does your computer have the possibility of installing 2 hard drives?

The 1TB Mushkin is $250. I have several Mushkins. They are greart SSDs. I have also other makes (Intel, OCZ, Sandisk) but the Mushkins are the fastest. I will never buy a spinning disk again. SSDs is the way to go.
Yea, there is one.I know no downs for having a SSD.
I'm scared "bleep" installing one.
I read and googled, still scared of doing it.
