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 own an OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD, it is my first one and I love it. I am starting to run low on space though so will be looking for another soon.

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

I try to get the best price/performance ratio I can.

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

Every 1-2 years I start replacing components.

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

Definitely build my own, unless I need a new laptop for school.

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 and I didn't even know what I was missing until I purchased one.

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)?
No, but I have placed an order for one that should be arriving soon! biggrin.gif I ordered an OCZ Agility 3 60GB to replace my dying main drive

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
Price and performance I would consider the biggest factors - value for money is always tops!

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
Over 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 prefer to buy the parts separately and build up my own systems. This gives me a better view of what parts I have and this simplifies troubleshooting. Also, nothing beats that bond you have with your equipment if it boots up!

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

1. I own several SSDs and am considering purchasing more. Currently, I'm considering OCZ because they have the Everest 2 controller for performance, and whenever price is the only concern, they usually lead in that front as well. I've also had great experiences when dealing with their customer service.

2. The most important considerations when I purchase for myself are a mix of performance and price. When I'm buying for other people, reliability and price are the top criteria.

3. I build a completely new computer probably every two years, but I upgrade computers about every six months.

4. I prefer to build my own PCs.

5. SSDs are extremely important to overall system responsiveness.
