Currently I don't own an SSD,but I'm planning on purchasing one in the near future.I'm mostly considering an Intel 520 series 120GB.My second pick would be Samsung 830 series 128GB...

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

I never bought one,but my main considerations would be performance and reliability...

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

My PCs last over 3 years,but I do some upgrades in the meantime...

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

I strongly prefer building my own PCs...

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

Based on the collected info,I would say it's pretty important to overall system performance,due to large speed improvements over traditional HDDs in most applications...
It's a PC...

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)?

---> At the moment I own a 120GB OCZ Agilty 3. It does the job, but the reliability on it is no where near what Intel provides. I do plan on adding another one down the road and most definitely will pick up either a 180GB/120GB Intel 520 SSD. The reviews, specs, function are phenomenal on it!

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

---> I'm big on price/performance ratio. I love when I get bang for the buck. Although I do admit to being a bit of a sucker for branding, I will more often than not grab what gives me the best performance for the price. I'll compare the ratios between brands and products until I find what's most suitable for me.

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

---> I love to upgrade, and when an opportunity comes up for a price I can't say no to, I'll pull the trigger and buy something new! Can't help myself. wink.gif

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

---> More often than not I'll build my own unit unless it's something like a laptop where there isn't a whole lot of flexibility in the initial product. I get a sense of satisfaction in tailoring the unit to my needs and being able to customize it's performance.

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

---> Crucial! Once you go SSD, you never go back. I run my OS and main games on mine and it's unreal! Absolutely suggest people include an SSD in their builds. It really complements all the other expensive parts in the system.

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

---> Hang on, I'll think about this while I go feed my pet polar bear. (110 + (15 / 5)) - 4 = 109

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, and maybe/maybe not. Brands I consider would include Intel, Samsung, and Crucial, just to name a few.

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

I love a good deal, but when buying something that is one of the most important components, I look for reliability over everything else. Second would be price, then performance.

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

I upgrade every time I get the chance, and haven't bought an entire set of components for a PC since 2009. A full replace (everything switched out from last "build") would be over 3 years at a time.

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

I build, always.

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, everything you do (well, almost everything) can be improved by having the low latency and high read/write speed it provides.

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'm thinking about buying one in the near future (128GB) I am considering OCZ (vertex4 / agility4), Crucial (M4) and Intel (330/520)

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

most important is reliability followed by performance and third price.

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

I never really buy a completely new PC, but I constantly upgrade and change parts, something new is in my computer at least every 3 months, and motherboard + cpu upgrades are every few 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 building 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 would advice people on a budget to not buy an SSD and instead spend some more money on the key components so not very 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)?

Do not currently own but plan on buying one soon. Considering Crucial, Intel, OCZ.

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

Performance, then price, then brand.

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, crucial m4. Planning on buying another larger on soon for game installs. Considering another crucial, intel, or maybe OCZ

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

Read and Write speed mainly. Also read/write cycle amounts.

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

I mainly upgrade my current rig, using some old pieces and some new in my "new" rig. Recently upgraded everything except my video card for the first time in almost 4 years. I cant believe I used my old one for so long

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

Based on my last answer I think you guys know what I prefer wink.gif

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

Very important, especially when programs are installed on it. Boot time is my main concern and the speed of SSD boots is amazing compared to my normal HDD
