do you guys recommend SSD as a working and storage drive ?

i do loads of photo editing, and currently running off some "remaining space" on my 120GT Corsair.

my WD blacks are just purely storage drives thou.

if yes. what would you recommend ?

ADATA ? good ?
Corsair FORCE 3 ?
Crucial M4s ?

usually is OS and the programmes u usually use...

for me... i've started to use it as a working drive to edit huge amount of images, not sure if its viable, but it does help to speed up my work...

Let's put it this way.. technically, the way they work is totally different.

To the mainboard/CPU, it is just a storage device and makes no difference to them (some H/W or OS may apply optimised settings for SSD or HDD thou, like defrag etc..). or, in very over simplified term, the CPU doesn't know whether it is SSD or HDD, to them, it is a storage device. period.

not really. but u can remove the superdrive and keep it just in case.

if you really need to burn a dvd on the go, you can always buy a portable superdrive.
