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 do not currently own an ssd, but I am working on revamping my gaming system and was planning on adding one. I was looking into Crucial, Samsung or Intel.

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

Performance via word of mouth. Knowing that the model I buy has a reputation for runnning as close to the advertised speeds as possible.

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 have an Intel X25-M 160GB, I will always have an SSD for my boot drive until something better comes out. Intel, Kinston, and Samsung are the most likely choices.

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

1.
I currently Own a Corsair F60 SSD, and just purchased a Mushkin 240gb SSD for my work Laptop. I am in the market for a larger SSD HD for my home PC

I am currently looking at the Intel 520, Samsung 840 or the OSZ Vertex are my top choices.

2.

The most important features to me are random read and write IOPS, Max read and Max Write. Seak times must be .14ms or less.
Price per GB is a factor as well. although not as crucial as they are not storage devices. Cache baby!

Yes I own 2!
1st: Intel 80gig X25-M that's still running strong to this day!
2nd: Intel 520 240gig that was purchased this year.

Yes planning on getting one in future. X25-M will be given to my brother. Would love another Intel 520 Series to match my existing one.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD

Brand > Performance > Price

Intel FTW!

1. Yes, I currently have an Intel 520 Series SSD, but it is running out of space. In the future, I will most likely buy another Intel SSD or a Samsung SSD.

2. The most important aspect is the price to performance ratio. I like to maximize my purchases, so buying the best SSD for the money will satisfy me.
