post #101 of 1152
1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)?
- Yes I own a Crucial M4, but I plan to upgrade to a faster SSD in the near future, brands including Samsung, Intel, Crucial, and Corsair.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
- $$$/Performance, Brand, Warranty/Customer Service

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
- Usually every two years, but I frequently upgrade my hardware in between.

4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
- Build my own

5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)
- Pretty important. SSD's are more reliable than HDD's and relieve a lot of bottleneck from any system.

1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)? I currently own a Intel 520 series SSD 240GB. I do not have plans to purchase a SSD in the near future.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)? Intel, Crucial, Samsung for their reliability mainly, performance and price comes second. I care a lot about my data being safe, with the least amount of issues for possible loss of data.

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)? I don't ever buy full system PC's. I do buy PC parts to upgrade my current system but will normally do a full rebuild, every 3-4 years.

4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)? I like to Build my own.

5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance) Extremely important, after owning one myself, its literally a day and night difference compared to a mechanical drive.

1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)?
Yes: 2 64GB Kingston V100 SSDs, 1 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD, and 1 120GB Adata S511 SSD. I'm planning on buying one in the near future. I'll be considering Corsair Neutron GTX SSDs.
2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
Price, performance, then brand name.
3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
Over 3 years since it'll be a while for me to consider purchasing a new PC.
4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
I prefer to build my own since I like upgrading components inside my PC.
5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)
It is extremely important since HDDs are normally the slowest component in the PC so SSDs will speed up loading the OS and applications.
