Q1. 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)?
A1. I do not own an SSD right now and I don't "plan" on purchasing one in the near future, though I am thinking about it. If I were to buy one, I'd go with either Intel or OCZ.

Q2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
A2. Price.

Q3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
A3. I do not purchase a new PC entirely, I just upgrade.

Q4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
A4. Definitely build. It's fun and I have more control over what is put into it.

Q5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)
A5. I'm not sure what you're asking... if you're asking how much an SSD would increase performance in a PC, then yes, extremely important.
