Any reason to go for a HDD over a SSD when i only need 60gb of space?

Hi guys,

I'm putting together a system to install Win7 and 1 game (Guild Wars 2).
No music, videos etc etc.


I wont need much space, so I am considering buying a SSD (60gb) and running everything off of that. Hopefully it will be quick boot up times and generally good performance in game when I need to load sections/levels/maps.

So given that I don't need much disc space, is there any reason I should not got for a SSD?

And can you please recommend me a good SSD to go with some Z68 mobo, that's not going to be too expensive. In or abouts £50 would be a sweet spot.

Any gernal advice/warnings would be very welcome.

Thanks,
Brian

What is the power consumption and heat like off an SSD?

I went for a 64GB M4 as a Z68 cache drive and its been no bother at all so would recommend that.

What do you mean by 'cache drive' ?

Is this some speical config you do for z68 mobo?
