Dude... it's time. Seriously

OCZ Vertex 3 SATA III 2.5in Solid State Drive, 120GB at Memory Express

I would say looks like a good deal, even for Canadian dollars.

ssd's are getting close to a dollar a gig... you seriously can't ask for more at this stage. Not for the speed increase you get. Anyone whos ever put one of these things into a computer will tell you. Best investment ever.

Old computer and laptops too. It is hard to go back once you switch.

no doubt, I boot up in under 9 seconds, every other computer takes forever in comparison. My laptop takes almost 50 seconds to a minute.

yep my laptop boots up faster than I can turn on my cell phone or put my shoes on. It's 5 years old.

no way Jose!

I would never get an OCZ drive. They have horrible failure rates.

I did however find a crucial drive I almost got because they had a sale on them $99 for 120GB but they were sold out by the time I read that email from newegg (which was first thing that morning!) I swear they put out the email when they have like 1 or 2 in stock just to get traffic to their site and not actually have to give drives away at such a low price...


now before you flame me, keep reading....


I DID just buy this drive here: Newegg.com - Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD2 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

$199.99 for 256GB

So like I said, when the price gets down below $1/GB from a company that has a better reputation than OCZ, I'll get one. And since that drive shown above meets my criteria, that bitch is ordered! so fuck you guys!
