    Hi, Im considering to get a 32gb or even 64gb SSD 1,8" hdd, since my 1,8 is **** slow. I know about the terrible pricing... I have a fujitsu Q2010, so seems like money is not a big issue :cool:
    Anyway, Im really looking for someone who experienced the quality of these drives.
    Thanks a lot in forward.

    Solid state drives aren't going to be that fast except on random access. Sustained transfer rates stink. They are more durable, though.

    They also boot up Windows much faster than regular hard drives.

    From what I hear from the rich people that I know that buy these things just because they can, Windows boots up in about 20 sec, and running 2 32gb in a single bay can be done, just for a lot of money. Random access is a lot better then a normal drive, with better battery life and they are very durable. I hate doing video/ audio editing on them, but they are good for everything else besides gaming.
