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)?

Price, Expected Life

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I usually build top end PC's every 4-5 years

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)
Extremely important to have one running your OS couldn't believe the difference when I first got mine

6. [Canadian residents only] What is 110 plus 15 divided by 5 minus 4?

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 bought one but my accout was frozen due to an Amazon mistake, so as of right now no. I was thinking of getting Intel or Samsung.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?

-First is price, second is performance and third is brand.

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

-Depends on the gap of performance between computers. Usually 2-4 years.

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

-I prefer to build my own 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 for system performance to get an SSD.

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)?

No, I want to get one soon though, and Intel seems to be the most reliable from what people say.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?

If the brand is trustworthy (and Intel certainly is), then it's an option. I don't buy crap brands anymore, I've learned the hard way. Performance and price come next, and both work together to help me make my decision.

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

Gradually my parts get upgraded until it's a new computer, this tends to be a 3-4 year time cycle unless something major happens and my whole system is trashed.

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 definitely, branded systems are way overpriced for what you get, and why have customer support when you can fix things yourself?

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, which is why I want one. A family member of mine has a SSD Dell Laptop that boots up extremely fast, and shuts down even faster.

6. [Canadian residents only] What is 110 plus 15 divided by 5 minus 4?

I still don't get this joke, but I'm not Canadian, so it doesn't matter.

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 240GB Intel 520 series SSD in my main computer and 120GB Intel 510 series SSD in the build I am selling. I do not plan to purchase one in the near future as I have no need for one right now.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?

Brand. GO INTEL!!!

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

1-2 Years, Every few months I'll replace a component until my pc is current then use the replaced parts to build another system, then sell that to make money back on new parts.

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 always 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, you are only as fast as your slowest device, with an SSD your cpu and memory can really use their max potential.

6. [Canadian residents only] What is 110 plus 15 divided by 5 minus 4?

I'm not Canadian, but as a hint to Canadians, start with 15 devided by 5, then do the rest.
