I currently have an Intel X25-M 160GB SSD as my C: drive, and a Western Digital 2TB 64mb cache HDD for storage.
While these are both great drives, I can see high res gaming being a potential problem. While I have no qualms about keeping older/less intense games on the HDD, I want to keep the newer/bigger games on the SSD.
As I can see me running out of space on the Intel in no time, I'm toying with the idea of buying a second SSD specifically for holding games (and perhaps also my CS4 work).
Focusing particularly on read speed, could people please advise the best SSDs available for such a purpose? I'm thinking OCZ and Crucial would be better than another Intel, but am certainly open to all suggestions. The drive must be at least 100GB.
Oh, and before anyone suggests this: Yes, I know I could get an HDD for a fraction of the price. There is physically not enough room in my rig to fit another HDD, so SSD is my only option.
