1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?

Yes, I own a Corsair Nova 64GB. I would like to purchase another one in the next few years.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?

I know from experience that Corsair is good, but Intel and OCZ seem like very high quality brands as well.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

I try to keep my PC updated with new parts every 2-3 years or so.

I own one SSD, and am in the market for a second.

2. If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?
I have considered OCZ and Crucial, based on reviews and price, performance, reliability (in that order).

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I will be purchasing a new PC (or upgrading to a large degree) every three or so years.

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?

Yes, I own a Crucial C300 128gb and a 120gb Intel 320. I would purchase an SSD with any rig I were to build in the future.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?

If I were to purchase another SSD I would probably go either Intel for reliability or Crucial for speed/ price.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

I keep making upgrades to one PC, making a large platform change every 2 generations or so. (1.5 years?)

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future? I do not own one and would like to get one soon. The prices have always held me back though.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)? Price and reliability are important to me. Reliability more so as I deal with a large amount of high value data that belongs to my customers and their businesses. I need something that I can count on that doesn't break the bank. smile.gif

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)? Every 1-3 years.

4) (For Canadian Residents) What is 125 plus 45 divided by 3 minus 13? N/A, American resident. thumb.gif

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?

No SSD here, want to get one but don't have the money.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?

Brand really doesn't have anything to do with it for me, just look at the price and reliability, as long as it performs better than what I currently have I really don't care

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

I would have to say over 3. I don't really buy a "new PC", more of just upgrade what I have as I can afford it.

1) Yes, own Adata and a Mushkin. No plan to buy one in the near future.

2) If I was to buy, I wouild consider IBM, Micron, Adata for performance to price.

3) New PC every 2-3 years...with some upgrades in between.

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?

No, can't afford one right now, nor do I expect to in the near future (or I would)

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?

I would find the one that currently had the best performance and space to price ratio.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

About every 3 years or so, if I can afford to do so.

4) (For Canadian Residents) What is 125 plus 45 divided by 3 minus 13?

In that exact order, 43.667.
With proper order of operations (assuming no brackets), 127.

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future?
I have a C300, and I plan on doing other upgrades to my PC before I get another SSD.

2) If you’re planning on purchasing an SSD, which brand(s) are you considering and why (price, performance, reliability, brand, etc.)?
I really like the Crucial M4, reason is for price and performance. I have also had no issues with my current Crucial SSD, so brand does play a small part.

3) How often do you purchase a new PC (every 12 months or less, every 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I upgrade my system over the course of roughly 2 years then I build a complete new one from scratch.

Thanks for the chance!
