PC Stats posted a review on the 240GB SanDisk Extreme Sold State Drive
I've held off jumping on the SSD bandwagon for the longest time; partially because Solid State Drives were astronomically expensive until quite recently and in part because SSD storage capacities were too small for the applications I typically load onto C:\. The PCSTATS test system has relied on SSDs for a couple years now, though. SSDs are much quicker to install an OS onto and boost system performance very nicely, improve boot and application load times, etc.240GB SanDisk Extreme Sold State Drive Review
In the latter half of 2012 the cost of a 240GB SSD - a size well suited to desktop PCs - finally fell to earth. Since this Hallmark moment happened, I've put together a few PCs with the OS and programs installed to SSD, with critical data safely backed up to a RAID 1 array of Western Digital RE4 mechanical HDDs. From this point on, I don't think I'll ever install another operating system to a mechanical hard drive... the era of solid state drives has indeed arrived.
