anyone else running a ssd?

I have an OCZ Vertex3 240GB in my gaming rig. I bought it two plus years ago and it's still running flawlessly. I have it in two partitions; about 25% for Windows and the rest for games I'm currently playing. I have another 2TB drive in there just for file storage.

I just put a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB in my laptop a couple of weeks ago... so far so good. There's a very noticeable speed increase in pretty much everything over the 7200RPM, as well as a significant reduction in noise and heat. I did end up downsizing from 500GB, though with all the cloud and network storage I have available it's not posing an issue.

SSD + Ubuntu on a Sony laptop from 2008, button-on to login prompt in about 5 seconds. Buying one and maxing out on RAM is about the best performance bang:buck you can get.

Here's a PNY 480GB for $165 AR, or the Samsung EVO 250GB for $110.

Ninja edit: the Samsung is selling FAST so jump on it if you want one.

yeah, I'm running the EVO 840 120gb that I got for 90 last month. Seems decent and boot time is quick

The samsung is rated second best SSD only to Intel (crazy pricey!)
