Then u hav to consider the price premium u pay for buying from this league of performance SSDs (more than 400MB/s write speeds): Corsair Neutron GTX, Samsung 840 Pro, OCZ Vertex 4, Plextor M5P. Their hefty price tag in contrast to the general trend of falling SSD prices may put u off a bit, but not for long. :)

My 3 x 240 gb Stronium in three MacBooks still doing fine and 1 x 240 gb in a desktop computer still no problem....

Drop an email to Stronium support or you can drop by their assigned Service Centre to inform the problem.

i need SSD for both video rendering, encoding, editing and gaming.
Is SP900 Adata good enough? Or I need SX900? SP900 promotion looks quite attractive.

I think Plextor M5S is good enough for u. A 256GB Plextor M5S selling at $249 at PCThemes, much cheaper than the Adata SP900 256GB retailing at $285. Or if u want performance-grade SSD, then OCZ Vertex 4 256GB ($313) or Plextor M5P ($319) would be good for u. :)

Its becoming a sham that ****heads like corsair send their denses drives for review when 90% of the population go for the 120 - 240GB drives... LOL if people didnt know better... which i presume there are buttloads worth of uninformed buyers out there

I apologise if this had been asked before...

...but I hope someone can enlighten me: I kept reading that solid state drives are very fast in loading applications. But what about the running of applications (such as Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and After Effects)? Will there be a speed increase as well? Thanks in advance.

loading files only... speed of file read and write if you are talking about processing speed is RAM and CPU

I see. So, if I do not have the habit of opening and closing applications frequently, SSDs will not help me much in my workflow.

Hi guys, wanted to check with you guys is it the right time to get a SSD or should I wait further for the price to drop?

Buying it locally and over there ( [Official] All SSD Promos and Deals! )
whats the difference?

And lastly i see that people buy SSD and HDD.
Do correct me if im wrong, install OS and windows stuff on SSD? Then programs and application install on HDD?

Forgot to mention guys, which brand of SSD to get and what specs to look out for?
Much appreciated!
