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 put an Intel SSD in my laptop, but have not upgraded my main desktop yet. For my desktop, I will only consider an Intel.

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

PERFORMANCE!!

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 the Kingston HyperX Brand SSD. I wouldn't doubt on purchasing more SSD's in the
near future because most likely, they're going to be better. I planned on sticking with the Kingston HyperX
brand also, unless there's something better I can try out.

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

All the above and then some... Adding reliability.

No longer own an SSD, which I now regret. As much as I would love an Intel SSD, the competitors prices are better. I am considering a Crucial M4 as they are always on sale somewhere.

I do not currently own a SSD right now. I have been interested in teh Samsung 8xx series for quite sometime, however just have a hard time pulling the trigger since it is so expensive per gig compared to HDD.

Performance to price ratio is most important to me. The brand usually determines good price to performance ratio.

future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot

I do not currently own an SSD but I do plan on purchasing some soon. I am watching the prices of all Intel / Samsung SSDs that are 256GB+.


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

Price is the biggest concern of mine, if the price is right my money can be had. Performance is only a slight concern since even the "slower" SSDs are faster than conventional HDDs.
