- Price to Performance Ratio.

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

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 128 gb OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS. Eventually I'm looking to build an HTPC so you could say I was looking for one to buy in the near future! I'm considering OCZ, Corsair, Intel, and Samsung.

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

Price/performance ratio. Although for the HTPC i'll be looking more for lower idle power consumption 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)?

A whole new PC? 2 -3 years. New PC parts, 1-2 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)

I think it's the biggest difference that you can see going from HDD to SSD. I would say extremely important.

Every year to two years. I may upgrade parts here and there.

I prefer to build my own. It's much more rewarding and besides, you get more bang for your buck. ^_^

1. Do you currently own a 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 currently don't own a SSD. I have considered purchasing one of: Samsung 830, Crucial m4 and OCZ Vertex 4. Intel has my attention as well, but pricing has put me off.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
Reliability, price per performance, then other things such as brand, warranty and support should it ever be needed.

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 and upgrade over time however I would say that a computer should last at least 3 years. My current computer has lasted me just over 3 years and its time to have it replaced.

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. A computer works fine for most users without a SSD; the responsiveness and speed just isn't the same though.

6. [Canadian residents only] What is 110 plus 15 divided by 5 minus 4?
110 + 15 / 5 - 4 = x
110 + 3 - 4 = x
x = 109
