[PhilipAlv]

SSD prices are coming down to a point where more people can afford them.anyone use them in your home desktops ?

i m planning to get an intel X25-M.Anyone have issues getting an SSD to work on XP Home ?

I've been thinking about getting an OCZ one for a while now to run Windows 7 on when I upgrade in a couple of weeks. But, I'm considering hanging on for a while for the prices to drop further as they've not fallen much in the last year. The Intel ones are extortionately priced!

I installed a OCZ Vertex SSD - 60GB - 64mb cache last month.
Running Windows 7 exclusively on it and it's fast. Boots up in a blink of an eye.

It's installed in a mixed system of SATA drives.
Triple booting XP Pro 32bit, Vista Ultimate 64bit and Windows 7 RC 64bit

No problems at all. .

I am thinking of buying an SSD for the two computers that I am going to be installing Windows 7 on, once it is released. Decent prices now and I don't need a lot of space since it is just going to be Windows and applications so can spend a little more for speed and cache.
