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)?

Purchased a Crucial M4 last time they were on sale on newegg. 128GB

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

Performance I heard a lot of good things about the M4

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

I make constant upgrades, but i get a new case and MOBO about every 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)?

I like to make my own PC, that way I know what is in it and on it.

5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)

My SSD improves my performance greatly, but I like the boot times the best.

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)?

Answer: Yes and No. I have Intel 320 80GB and Intel 520 240GB SSDs already... and Intel has not given me a free one yet. Disappointed.

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

Answer: Price, Speed, and Reliability. Intel please make those SSD housing shine more... the bottom surface looked half finished. Disappointed.

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

Answer: Approximately every 5 years.

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

Answer: Branded systems aren't bad, but I prefer 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)

Answer: Between pretty and extremely important.

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)?
Yes. Intel, Crucial, OCZ/Kingston (in that order)

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
I feel that reliability should be a key component along with price and performance.

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
Every 3-4 years or more (depending on its components)

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

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! almost extremely since its so quick but some cant dish out the cash so its understandable (since they need more space from HD's and they are cheaper)

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 two currently. I own a Corsair and an Intel SSD.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
I definitely consider price/brand the most important. I really look for brands that have a name in reliability like Intel.

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
I purchase a new PC maybe 1-2 years. I frequently upgrade my PC so it is hard to say.

4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
I definitely 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)
I find it to be pretty important. I love how fast SSDs boot up and how fast they can move larger files. SSDs are definitely much more reliable then mechanical hard drives.
