So who's made the leap to SSD?
xShadow:
I'm gonna wait until I can get around 200GB or 320GB for somewhere near 100-200 bucks. As it is now, it's just not worth it. My programs and OS loads just fine on my drive, and even if I did get an SSD for anywhere near a reasonable price; wtf is the point when the max it can hold is an OS and then like 5 games or so? Doesn't even leave any room for any other programs.

But will it blend?

While the speed aspect of the striped is cool - the stability aspect I fear.
1 drive out of X fails - and your whole system is teh fuck. They should mention that. :)

Well, those who have SSDs currently typically only have the OS and the most file-intensive applications on it. Everything else, where access time doesn't matter as much, can be thrown onto old-fashioned HDs.
If I were to upgrade, I'd probably keep the OS, Adobe apps, and WoW on the SSD. Maybe my photoshop projects too. Nothing else really needs drive access as badly as those do...

they're solid state =/ the odds of one SSD going is less than that of two HDDs.
and iindigo, you don't even need to put games on it. the relevant data is preloaded onto the boot drive's cache. all it saves is maybe half a second initial boot.

SSD, just for that e-peen and bragging rights, sounds just right.
