Ok, so I bought the C300 64GB. I've been looking at what to actually put on it and have come up with the following:

Windows 7 10.00 GB
Office 2007 1.60 GB
Kaspersky 0.4 GB
FSX 14.00 GB
SupCom FA 10.00 GB
My Docs 2.00 GB
Misc Progs 5.00 GB (eg spotify, ccleaner etc)

Leaving about 16GB. I plan to leave about 10% free, leaving about 11GB.

Now I have steam games (about 60GB) so they will have to go on my F3 as they cant be split up. I also have Company of Heroes, BFBC2, AutoCAD, Matlab some of which I could put on the remaining space.

What do people recon I should have, especially games wise? Does Sup Com FA see much of a benefit on an SSD over a fast HDD (samsung f3). Im putting FSX on as I want to run it as higher quality terrain as possible with minimum stutter (any sim-ers comment on FSX on ssd?)

What do you have on your SSD? Thoughts and comments welcome...!
 
I think your setup sounds good.
I currently have 2x 60GB Vertex 2E in RAID0
Mainly Win7/Program Files/Pagefile

My Games/Documents/Films/Music/Downloads are all stored on 8x 1TB Spinpoints in RAID5
 
Just windows and every day programs like office, firefox, ventirlo etc all small programs on SSD, films + music storage on a currently full 160GB drive and steam taking up 120GB at the moment on a 640GB drive
 
I've got an 80GB Intel X25-M and like most folks, essentials are all on that and overspill on other drives.

All apps benefit from SSD, it's just they cost a lot more so it's like being back in the early 90's where you have to choose which to install on your valuable hard drive :)
 
My Vertex LE 50gb is just for the O/S and the usual apps. That's due to be replaced on Tuesday by a Crucial C300.

My old Intel x25m 80gb is for games, primarily steam based.

Everything else, including downloads, my documents (, which was getting a bit bloated), other less used games and stuff goes on my F3.
