I do not currently own an SSD but I maybe be purchasing one later this year. I would consider Intel or Samsung brand SSDs.

I build a new PC every 2 to 3 years.

I would always choose to build my own PC over buying a premade.

SSD are becoming more and more important to system performance these days. I would rate it at extremely important.

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 2 OCZ Vertex 3 SSD's (120GB and 60GB it was i believe) would consider getting intel SSD but price point is a bit out of my price range.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
price to performance ratio is most important, followed by reputation of brand for failure rates as well as warranty, i know intel has no problem in this area.

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

4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
building my own because ill know all my components are solid.
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, since i no longer need to leave my pc running 24/7 for time related convenience, ssds boot into windows as fast as 15 seconds.

Wow, what a great opportunity! Thanks OCN & Intel!!!

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 do, two 60GB OCZ units that I use in Raid 0

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
I look more into real-world performance before anything else.

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I personally tend to build a new configuration just about every year.

4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
I definitely am a 'build your own' type of guy, always have been.

5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)
Well, coming from having three WD Velociraptors in Raid 0 to going to these two 60GB SSD's in Raid 0, I can say that the SSD's blow away any spinning media I have ever owned. I put a SATA 3 Corsair 128GB in my dad's new machine I put together for him and he was blown away by the 400MB/s+ transfer rate from that SSD! I really believe that an SSD is extremely important and I personally will never go back to spinning media for my OS and applications drive.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Tony
